By Plenary Sessions: Tanel Kiik

Economic policies are focused on easing the tax burden, particularly concerning essential consumer foodstuffs. The speaker criticizes tax hikes, arguing they fuel price increases, and supports fiscal measures (such as lowering VAT) to mitigate inflation. He/She also questions the consistency of the government's fiscal logic.

Economic views favor fiscal prudence when planning fixed costs, prioritizing core funding over the utilization of reserves. However, ensuring optimal service requires significant additional investment in densifying the route network and opening new lines in the coming years.

Our economic platform focuses on social justice and responsible budgeting, while opposing tax giveaways to the wealthy (exceeding 100 million euros). We support a significant increase in the subsistence level and greater funding for the social sector. We advocate lowering the VAT on groceries to boost consumer spending and ease the economic burden on people.

The speaker opposes tax policy decisions that boost the incomes of the wealthiest decile and demands significantly increased state spending in the area of special needs care. The preference is for social justice and needs-based allocation of the state budget, rather than wealth redistribution.

Economic views concern state support for social services, emphasizing that state funding must be sufficient to prevent the growth of inequality and ensure accessibility for all children. This indicates support for state intervention aimed at ensuring social equality.
