By Plenary Sessions: Martin Helme

Not enough data. The speaker mentions that the opposition is guided solely by "power and money," but fails to present concrete positions on taxes, the budget, or economic regulation.

The economic platform is staunchly anti-tax, especially concerning the car tax, which they deem wealth-destroying and economically misguided. They favor policies that genuinely support the welfare and economic prosperity of the Estonian people, contrasting sharply with the government's current fiscal policy.

Economic views are strongly opposed to tax increases, arguing that raising VAT, excise duties, and income tax will worsen the economic situation and reduce real income. The speaker criticizes the government's methods for achieving budget balance, claiming that raising taxes will lead to a deterioration in tax revenue collection and put the economy on a crash course. He emphasizes the decline in purchasing power and the fueling of price increases.

Economic positions are strongly opposed to tax hikes, arguing that high taxes and expensive electricity (the green transition) are killing the economy. They emphasize that tax increases are forcing businesses to shut down and lay off staff. The speaker is skeptical of the government's large investment subsidies, suspecting they are being channeled toward coalition donors rather than genuinely stimulating the economy as a whole.

The economic views expressed are strongly anti-tax, demanding massive spending cuts—rather than revenue increases—to resolve the budget crisis, emphasizing that the core issue is a spending crisis. They call for the termination of the green transition (rohepööre) and the Rail Baltic project, alongside a reduction in support for Ukraine, arguing this will enhance business competitiveness and improve people's ability to cope financially. Specific sources of cuts are proposed to achieve budget balance, which would total hundreds of millions of euros.
