The economic perspective focuses on the cost-effectiveness of energy production and the adequacy of backup power solutions. Stable energy sources are preferred (nuclear energy, oil shale during the transition) over unreliable and potentially cost-ineffective solutions.

Insufficient data.

The economic position is strongly opposed to the car tax, as it generates compliance costs and encourages people to engage in avoidance schemes. While acknowledging that taxes are necessary for the state to function, the speaker questions the inevitability of this specific tax, pointing to the need to review national finances and political spending priorities. It is argued that budgetary problems do not stem from a lack of funds, but rather from issues regarding how money is utilized.

Opposition is voiced against new taxes (like the car tax) and subsidies (such as those for wealthier individuals buying used electric cars), with critics emphasizing that these measures burden and stifle the economy. It is argued that the state's problem is not a lack of funds, but rather how money is utilized and the failure to review spending areas. The opposition has proposed alternative funding sources, for example, implementing a bank tax.

There is not enough data.

The speaker stresses the crucial role of entrepreneurs in funding the state budget and calls for a more respectful attitude toward them. They oppose new taxes, arguing that these measures push people into the shadow economy, slow down economic growth, and increase prices for service sector businesses. Criticism is leveled at the lack of transparency in the state's fiscal policy, citing, for instance, the transfer of one billion unused euros and subsidies provided to wealthier individuals for purchasing electric vehicles.
