By Plenary Sessions: Anti Allas

The political focus is on solving the climate crisis and the more ambitious implementation of the climate-resilient economy law. The speaker strongly supports a science-based approach and emphasizes the need to reduce consumption as a systemic solution. The framework is value-based, focusing on the preservation of living nature and sustainability.

The political focus is directed towards issues concerning the legitimacy of administrative organization, particularly the decreasing electorate in local governments and the minimum population requirements. Furthermore, attention is drawn to gaps in social welfare, specifically regarding the ability of young adults—who are legally of age but still dependent on their parents—to cope financially. The approach is policy- and data-driven, aiming to find systemic solutions and explanations.

The political focus centers on budget debates and the difficulty of implementing state cuts, which is being framed more as a performance-driven issue. The speaker's view is that, given inflation, simply maintaining the current volume of services already constitutes a de facto cut, thereby highlighting the real-world challenges facing fiscal policy.

The political focus is currently on the failure of the state budget reform, particularly the deficiencies in implementing Activity-Based Budgeting (ABB), which have resulted in increased confusion and higher costs. The speaker adopts a critical position, concurring with the findings of the National Audit Office, and stresses the necessity for responsible action. The proposed solution is a combination of cost-based and activity-based budgeting, though the primary emphasis would remain on the cost-based approach. This stance is strongly policy- and performance-driven, demanding clarity regarding the use of taxpayer funds.
