The 15th Riigikogu, extraordinary session of the Riigikogu.
These economic views are strongly opposed to tax increases, especially during an economic crisis, arguing that they hit the poorest citizens hardest and suppress economic growth. They advocate for policies that promote economic growth and criticize the government-created budget deficits that lead to reduced public spending on infrastructure (roads), defense, and social services. The consequences of these tax hikes are described as "unbuilt roads, stagnant teacher salaries, and lower pensions."

15th Riigikogu, extraordinary session of the Riigikogu
Economic views are strongly against tax increases, arguing that they worsen the economic situation and deepen the 2.5-year-long recession. It is stressed that the Estonian economy is the only one in Europe showing a decline, which points to serious management failures. They oppose redistribution schemes that make the poor poorer by taking money from them via a car tax and returning only cents as support payments.

Economic perspectives focus on the state's fiscal capacity and the high cost of indexing pensions, citing a concern voiced by another politician that this "is truly beyond the state's means." The debate concerns large national financial commitments and budgetary discipline.
