The speaker is focusing on reforming the tax system, actively supporting the reduction of VAT on foodstuffs and the implementation of a progressive income tax. Emphasis is placed on the need to analyze the experiences of other European countries, and reference is made to the analysis initiated by the Minister of Regional Affairs and Agriculture concerning the impact of VAT on foodstuffs. The Social Democratic Party pledges to support all tax initiatives that reduce the tax burden on low- and middle-income earners and increase the contribution of the wealthy to state budget revenues.

While supporting the Chancellor of Justice's proposal, the speaker demands a more extensive overhaul of the legislation to eliminate instances of unfairness and shift the tax burden toward the wealthy and owners of luxury vehicles. The overall approach is reformist and socially sensitive.

The speaker focuses on two core legislative issues: the draft Employment Contracts Act, which he sharply criticizes for eroding workers' rights, and the Tallinn Hospital project, which he actively supports. On the matter of the employment contract law, he is clearly opposed, highlighting the resistance from trade unions and professional associations. Regarding the healthcare reform, he acts as the initiator, presenting a concrete proposal for establishing a unified hospital featuring two medical campuses.
