By Years: Mait Klaassen

The political platform heavily emphasizes regional development, criticizing the insufficient allocation of investments to rural areas (40% vs 60%) and demanding at least a 50/50 split to overcome the current disparity. The protection of private property is also a priority, particularly concerning the imposition of nature conservation restrictions without involving forest owners, which is polarizing society. The platform supports previous agreements on the priority funding of higher education, while expressing concern over potential budget cuts. The overall political framework is strongly policy- and results-driven.

The speaker strongly emphasizes the need for new economic models and strategic planning, stressing the importance of moving beyond mere crisis management ("firefighting"). As a member of the Reform Party faction, he supports environmental measures, preferring to view the proposed car tax as an environmental levy. Furthermore, he supports halting oil shale mining permits to prevent a greater violation of the legitimate expectations of businesses. He also vigorously defends the fundamental rights of citizens, including the inviolability of the home and the rights of electoral coalitions in local government.
