By Plenary Sessions: Martin Helme

The economic views are strongly right-wing and conservative, stressing the positive impact of tax reductions (VAT, excise duties) on economic growth, competitiveness, and consumer purchasing power. He believes that tax cuts will increase tax revenue (income tax, social tax, VAT) by reducing the shadow economy and encouraging wage growth in the private sector. Government tax hikes are viewed as detrimental to the economy and corrosive to people's purchasing power.

Insufficient data.

The economic stance strongly favors protecting domestic labor, opposing the introduction of cheap foreign labor, which drives down the wages and job security of Estonian people. Business owners are viewed as supporters of the Reform Party, seeking cheaper production input from the state in the form of labor. The only migration Estonia needs is the return migration of Estonians.

Economic views are heavily focused on protecting the nation's finances and the public's pocketbook, opposing climate policy which is considered economically devastating and poverty-inducing. The speaker supports a draft law aimed at eliminating CO2 penalties for the economy, arguing that this aligns with current EU regulations or demands leaving the EU if necessary.

On the topic of economic perspectives, opposition to the car tax is mentioned, with it being referred to as an unpopular and abnormal measure that also affects the speaker's own interests ("I have a jeep myself, too").

The economic outlook is firmly right-wing and pro-tax cuts, stressing the need to lower excise duties to the EU minimum level to boost corporate competitiveness and consumer spending. The speaker criticizes the government’s tax hikes (VAT, income tax, and the proposed car tax) as measures that stifle economic growth and fuel inflation. He advocates borrowing for national defense to rapidly acquire new capabilities, rather than increasing tax rates.

The speaker is vehemently opposed to importing cheap labor, arguing that it suppresses wages in the labor market and drives the emigration of Estonians. They demand a high minimum wage requirement for immigrants, asserting that this is the sole criterion for ensuring productivity growth and eliminating low-productivity sectors.
