15th Riigikogu, extraordinary session of the Riigikogu
The political focus is on implementing the car tax, which is being supported as an unavoidable measure necessary to finance the functioning of the state and its chronically underfunded sectors (teachers, rescuers, police officers). The argument is framed around the narrative that the state has been pared down so thin in the past that it simply cannot function anymore. At the same time, the necessity of finding relief for specific groups (owners of vintage vehicles, people with disabilities, residents of sparsely populated areas) is also stressed.

15th Riigikogu, Riigikogu's extraordinary session.
The political stance centers on criticizing the previous administration, which has driven the country "into a hole" and where actions were guided by popularity rather than necessity. They emphasize the need for responsible governance that can ensure teachers a respectable salary and lift pensions from the bottom rung of Europe. The position is strongly aimed at improving the nation's long-term financial and social performance.
