By Plenary Sessions: Rene Kokk

The speaker is in strong opposition to the government's energy policy, particularly concerning the accelerated construction of wind farms and the ten-year acceleration of the phase-out of oil shale energy. The stance is both value-based and procedural, highlighting the hypocrisy of the government's actions and accusing them of steamrolling the public in favor of business interests. The political objective is to ensure considered and wise decision-making instead of rushing.

The political stance focuses heavily on consumer protection and the practical aspects of complying with European Union product requirements for e-commerce imports. This position is aimed at policy implementation, demanding clarity regarding the handling of goods and the associated costs. Highlighting the problems of lost funds and stalled merchandise demonstrates concern about the regulation's actual impact on citizens.

The political stance is fiercely opposed to the car tax, which is viewed as damaging to Estonian people and businesses, and detrimental to society as a whole. Emphasis is placed on its disproportionality and unfairness, particularly regarding the taxation of stolen vehicles and the destruction of the classic car culture. The political framework is primarily policy-driven, focusing on the practical implementation and social deficiencies of the draft legislation.

The political position is strongly oppositional to the government's activities, focusing on population policy and ensuring national confidence and security. The speaker sharply criticizes the breaking of pre-election promises and the reduction of benefits for large families. The policy framing is results-oriented, accusing the government of preparing a tax cascade detrimental to families.

The political position is clearly and strongly against raising the alcohol excise tax, emphasizing its negative impact on public health (due to the resulting underground trade) and the economy (as money flows to Latvia). The speaker stresses the consistency of this stance, having supported lowering excise duties while in government and opposing their increase while in opposition. This position is heavily results-oriented, focusing on the actual consequences of excise policy.

The political position strongly focuses on procedural transparency and accountability, demanding the disclosure and availability of the opinion provided by the law firm consulted for advice. This is a results-based approach that emphasizes the proper documentation and sharing of materials. The stance is moderately critical of the rapporteur, who referenced an opinion that has not been shared.
