By Plenary Sessions: Rene Kokk

In political activity, strong emphasis is placed on national preparedness and the transparency of strategic reserve management, particularly regarding the evaluation of the Estonian Stock Center's operations. Another crucial topic is guaranteeing food security and opposing the government's practice of avoiding substantive discussion of opposition-submitted bills. These positions are heavily focused on ensuring state functionality and security for times of crisis, tending to be results-oriented and critical.

The political stance is twofold: strong procedural criticism aimed at the government for failing to process opposition bills, and clear support for a specific excise duty reduction bill. The criticism targets the efficiency and integrity of the government's actions in the legislative process, accusing them of stifling processes. Simultaneously, there is active support for reducing the excise duty rate on shale oil fuel.

The political stance is strongly opposed to the government's infrastructure policy, particularly the Rail Baltic project and the proposed car tax. The speaker sharply criticizes the underfunding of road infrastructure, which has led to the sector's collapse, and highlights the impracticality of Rail Baltic. The political framework is primarily results-oriented, stressing the government's short-sightedness and inefficiency while demanding that national defense be prioritized. He emphasizes that the public's concern regarding restrictions on stove heating is entirely justified.

The political position strongly focuses on tax relief for both individuals and legal entities, justifying this approach by citing high inflation and the challenging economic situation. The stance is heavily policy- and results-driven, underscoring the necessity of leaving more disposable income in people’s hands. Furthermore, the speaker emphasizes procedural accountability and demands clear answers from ministers, criticizing the lack of clarity in communication.

The political position is strongly value-based and assertive, emphasizing the need to immediately remove monuments that cause offense, while criticizing previous "subservience." A second key focus is the alleged political abuse of the legal system, where legal proceedings are utilized as a method for punishing political opponents. The speaker supports the adoption of a specific draft decision to achieve the desired outcomes.

The speaker’s political stance is heavily rooted in social policy and values, directly opposing the ideological direction of the coalition. The central issue is the reduction of child benefits, which is viewed as a serious problem and an affront to families. The speaker is actively supporting legislative amendments to find a solution to the current situation.

The political focus is directed both at the procedural correctness of the legislation (the timely submission of the draft bill) and the historical credibility of the tax policy. The speaker questions the Reform Party's long-term intentions regarding VAT increases, referencing the 2009 decisions and linking them to current or future hikes. The framing is heavily results-oriented and serves to undermine credibility.

The political stance is strongly critical of the direction of the government's green transition policy, labeling it a "green transition frenzy" that is driving industry out of Estonia and Europe. It advocates for tax uniformity, arguing that the VAT rate for the press should be equal to the general VAT rate (22%), opposing the established reduced rate (9%). The political framework is results-oriented, focusing on the negative economic consequences of political decisions.
