By Plenary Sessions: Mart Helme

The speaker demonstrates expertise in border treaty negotiations (the Saatse boot, land exchange, land quality assessments/bonitation) and the field of internal security. He cites specific figures (an estimated 5,000 trained personnel, 10,000 war refugees) and uses historical parallels (the 1939 Jupo) to support his arguments. He explains the reasons behind the lack of a road through the Saatse boot area, linking it to the anticipated border treaty.

The speaker demonstrates knowledge of the history of border construction, costs, and previous procurements (drones, cameras), contrasting the actions of the previous government with the current one. He/She is also familiar with international security policy, specifically referencing the justification for triggering NATO Article 4 and the views of Dutch Prime Minister Rutte.

The speaker demonstrates expertise in parliamentary procedural rules by raising a point of order and stressing that the subject at hand is the first reading of the state budget. He clearly distinguishes relevant legislative matters (the budget) from irrelevant personal questions.

The speaker demonstrates knowledge of the specifics of tax law, especially regarding tax refund mechanisms and how money is credited to the tax authority's account, rather than the taxpayer's own account. State budget and debt issues are also covered, referencing specific amounts (2 billion in loans and 2 billion in deposits). The lack of detailed knowledge shown by the minister and the commission representative is emphasized.
