By Plenary Sessions: Mart Helme

There are no direct economic policy positions. However, it is stressed that the government has caused continuous resentment among various socio-economic groups, such as drivers, large families, farmers, and pensioners, citing concern over the situation of these groups.

Economic viewpoints are indirectly manifested in the criticism over the waste of taxpayer money being spent on politically motivated or insignificant lawsuits. This indicates a concern for the nation's finances and the effective use of public funds.

The speaker is strongly opposed to increased taxation on pensions, viewing it as a threat to the financial stability of older people and their ability to afford medication. They support tax relief, specifically the reduction of VAT on medicines, to ensure essential goods remain accessible. Their economic views lean towards prioritizing social security and the protection of vulnerable groups.

The economic viewpoints were presented within the context of government criticism, accusing the administration of steering Estonia toward economic disaster. Concern was also voiced regarding the inadequacy of national defense spending and ammunition reserves, emphasizing that 1.6 billion euros is required merely for two weeks of combat ordnance.

The speaker is strongly opposed to tax hikes, arguing that taxes don't grow the economy—they kill it. They demand the creation of new reserves and economic growth, instead of simply using the current poor situation as a pretext. In the speaker's estimation, the government's policy is destroying people's faith in the stable future of the country.

The economic views expressed are strongly opposed to taxes and regulations, arguing that government actions are killing the economy and amount to conducting ideological experiments. They demand a strict financial analysis (total cost vs. total revenue) for green projects, specifically mentioning offshore wind farms, and cite Indrek Neivelt in support. Furthermore, concern is raised regarding the disposal costs that will be left for future generations and the overall competitiveness of the Estonian economy.

Economic perspectives are briefly addressed within the context of taxation, highlighting the public's strong opposition to the proposed car tax and other levies. The government faces criticism for essentially blaming the populace for not wanting to live poorly and be saddled with taxes. However, no concrete economic policy alternatives are presented.

Economic perspectives focus on the inefficient use of resources, criticizing the expenditure of funds on building renovations at the expense of teachers and children. The negative impact of high energy prices on the education system is highlighted, along with the necessity of streamlining the economic base, which currently prevents effective problem-solving.

The economic platform is centered on lowering the cost of living and opposing tax increases. Specific criticism is directed at the refusal to reduce VAT on foodstuffs and pharmaceuticals. The taxation of vehicles is considered ineffective and has achieved the opposite of its intended effect. Furthermore, the government’s alleged job creation efforts are criticized for leading to lower wages and the replacement of Estonian labor with cheaper foreign workers.
