By Plenary Sessions: Aivar Kokk

The speaker clearly represents an opposition stance, strongly criticizing the government's tax policy and budget strategy. The primary points of contention focus on the motor vehicle tax, the income tax increase, and the overall growth of the tax burden. He/She consistently emphasizes that the ruling coalition (the Reform Party and Estonia 200) has broken its election promises and is damaging economic growth with these tax hikes.

The critic adopts a strongly opposing position regarding the waste reform, labeling it "complete madness" and a "tax festival." He argues that the reform will impose an additional annual burden of 70–75 million euros on taxpayers, while the European Union fine would only amount to 16–20 million euros. The criticism is particularly sharp concerning the Prime Minister’s promise that no new taxes would be introduced.

The speaker clearly represents the positions of the Isamaa party, strongly emphasizing the need to lower taxes to stimulate the economy. He/She supports repealing the excise duty increases and sharply criticizes the tax policy of the current coalition. The speaker repeatedly highlights the experience of 2020, when excise duties were lowered and the economy grew, and demands the reintroduction of a similar approach.
