By Plenary Sessions: Martin Helme

The speaker positions himself primarily as an Estonian nationalist, stressing that his main concern is Estonian affairs and the Estonian people. He is in strong opposition to the government, particularly the Reform Party and the Social Democratic Party, accusing them of dishonesty, lack of principle, and the destruction of the Estonian nation-state. His political stance is value-based, focusing on the lack of trust and the defense of historical truths (such as the conquest of 1944).

The most salient issue is the strong, values-based opposition to the car tax, which is deemed destructive to the welfare and prosperity of the Estonian people. The political stance is clearly antagonistic, accusing the tax of being based on falsehoods and promising its repeal by a new government involving EKRE.

The political position is strongly oppositional to the current government and its tax policy, especially the car tax. The speaker claims that the government is pursuing policies hostile toward the Estonian people, which are making life drastically worse. The primary focus is on poverty alleviation, rather than issues related to climate change or the green transition. The political framework is strongly rooted in values and results, leveling accusations of stupidity, greed, and obstinacy against the government.

The politician is positioning himself as a strong opponent of the new government and its policies, labeling it a continuation of Kaja Kallas’s government in the worst possible sense. His main points of emphasis are directed at outrageous tax hikes and the government’s deception in concealing the true impact of these taxes (for example, on pensions). His stance is heavily results-oriented, criticizing the government’s inability to stimulate the economy and act with integrity.

The political stance is firmly opposed to tax hikes, particularly the car tax and the so-called national defense tax, viewing them as destructive to the economy and an attempt to mislead the public. The primary focus is the budget crisis engineered by the government, which they characterize as a spending crisis, rather than a lack of revenue. They demand a fundamental change in political choices to halt this country-destroying trajectory.
