By Plenary Sessions: Mart Helme

Economic perspectives are heavily focused on combating corruption and money laundering within major national projects, such as Rail Baltic and wind energy subsidies. Strict financial planning is required, incorporating decommissioning costs into the price of new construction. Criticism is leveled against the practice of channeling subsidies primarily to shell companies, suggesting that the movement of funds is prioritized over actual electricity generation.

The economic perspectives focus on the topic of sanctions compliance and evasion, criticizing the planned reporting mechanism as disproportionate and dangerous. Broader standpoints regarding taxes, spending, or regulations are missing.

The economic views are tied to criticism of the European Union, claiming that the populace is becoming impoverished under the EU’s "favorable conditions." This points to strong opposition to the current economic order, which is attributed to the loss of sovereignty ("slavery to directives").

The economic outlook is systematically pessimistic, forecasting a crash of the entire global financial system driven by reciprocal tariffs and debt instruments. The speaker is vehemently opposed to new taxes (specifically the car tax) and sharply criticizes the Estonian government's total lack of preparation for an economic crisis. Furthermore, support is voiced for the idea of restoring the gold standard.

The speaker is strongly against the tax hikes, calling them a "tax spree" and focusing on the negative impact they have on the public. The car tax, in particular, is criticized as the most hated tax among the populace. Elevated VAT rates are also mentioned.

The speaker is fiercely critical of the massive state expenditures tied to aiding Ukraine and building up our own defense industry. He labels these initiatives as nothing more than pointless posturing and corrupt siphoning of funds. He contrasts Estonia’s inefficiency with China’s pragmatic approach, which ensures success before taking any action.
