By Years: Anastassia Kovalenko-Kõlvart

The Centre Party's position in 2025 will be fundamentally oppositional towards the government: critical of tax and environmental policy, of exhausting taxes and a lack of transparency; emphasizes constitutionality and the protection of rights, and wants to curtail budget-related compromises/oversights and strengthen the Riigikogu’s role in financial decisions. It emphasizes that the inadequacy of tax incentives and ownership policy is a political problem for the government, and strives towards policies supporting local and regional investment planning (e.g., Tallinn Hospital) and the well-being of the population. As an opposition, it is prepared to cooperate, but its main focus is ensuring credibility, the rule of law, and transparency, and paying attention to people's ability to cope (pensioners, families, young people), and protecting the interests of the state and its citizens. Changes compared to the previous period are geared more towards legality and transparency and greater parallel action and cooperation, but primarily critical of all steps taken by the coalition.

A Centre Party representative has highlighted a form opposing the car tax, emphasizing that tax changes burden the most vulnerable groups (people with disabilities, large families, those living in rural areas, pensioners) and calls on the state to make contradictory decisions. They advocate for the creation of allowances and additional support (e.g., for people with disabilities and large families) and propose taxing banks' excess profits as an alternative. It can be said that, in their opinion, the coalition’s previous economic steps have been insufficient and stresses the need for transparency and constitutionality in financial and economic policy. On the substance of the matter, the position is strongly oriented towards protectionist and social policy and tends to be critically opposed to the government’s current direction on economic issues.
