Political Position
The political stance is firmly opposed to Draft Bill 645 SE and the Reform Party’s tax hikes, criticizing the government’s actions as deceptive and prioritizing the wrong things. The speaker stresses that during a crisis, it is senseless to take money from pensioners just to finance pay raises for members of the Riigikogu (Parliament). This position is strongly value-driven, centered on social justice and exposing the dishonest way the government presents its activities.
