By Plenary Sessions: Aleksei Jevgrafov

The political stance centers on the social and economic impact of fine rates imposed in misdemeanor proceedings, characterizing the new, high fine rates as a problem that significantly burdens citizens. The speaker indirectly criticizes earlier policy, questioning the true motive behind the draft legislation and suggesting that the minister is a "hostage" to previous decisions. This position aims to safeguard the financial security of citizens within the context of state-imposed penalties.

The political position centers on the issue of the green transition and vehicle usage. A challenge is issued to the Prime Minister, emphasizing that personal example (giving up the official car) is intrinsically linked to the implementation of the policy. The stance is moderately critical and behavior-based.

The political focus is currently centered on the strong opposition to revoking the voting rights of permanent residents (over 70,000 people) in local elections—a move widely regarded as unreasonable and unconstitutional. This stance is well-argued, drawing on integration studies that demonstrate the connection between loyalty and citizenship, as well as constitutional concerns, specifically referencing the warnings issued by the Chancellor of Justice. The speaker also casts doubt on the Prime Minister's earlier arguments regarding Russian influence, dismissing them as baseless.

The political emphasis is on criticizing the economic crisis, rapid impoverishment, and the government's failed tax policy. The speaker strongly opposes the coalition's actions, stressing that the government has chosen an unjust path to resolve the difficult situation, which primarily harms the most vulnerable population groups. The focus is heavily directed toward assessing the government's actions and performance, demanding immediate measures to keep the economy afloat.

It highlights the deficiencies in the state's administrative capacity and the failure to ensure the timely payment of teachers' salary supplements. The political stance is strongly performance-based, demanding concrete steps from the government to prevent similar issues in the future. This position is critical of the state's actions concerning the fair and timely compensation of educators.

The central theme is the disenfranchisement of third-country nationals in local elections, a measure the speaker is critically opposed to. This stance is aimed at criticizing political opportunism and fundamental shifts, highlighting Jüri Ratas's diametrically opposed change of position and the potential shift in stance by the Social Democrats within the context of the Tallinn coalition. The speaker emphasizes rule-of-law and strictly legal arguments against these political moves.

The political stance is highly critical of the government's performance, focusing on the failure to deliver on promises and the betrayal of teachers' expectations. The primary issue is the state's lack of administrative capacity regarding the payment of teachers' supplementary wages, which is framed as a performance-based failure. The speaker emphasizes that the state's delay significantly complicates the recruitment of teachers in a critical area.
