15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
Political Position
The speaker strongly objects to the coalition's method of passing the sugar tax, labeling it a "steamroller." They question the stated goal of the tax (children's health) and offer an alternative, value-driven solution: earmarking the tax revenue for hobby education and extracurricular activities. This stance is heavily politically motivated, emphasizing the need for investments that deliver tangible benefits for children.
