There is not enough data.

These economic positions strongly support state intervention and redistribution aimed at reducing social inequality, especially in conditions of high inflation. Support is given to utilizing a supplementary budget to increase social benefits, and there is opposition to amendments to labor law that would increase employer rights and weaken worker protection.

The economic standpoints are not explicitly stated, but concern is mentioned regarding the payment of large financial compensations ("reaching into the millions") stemming from the system's inefficiency. This points to an implicit concern over the state's financial liabilities and procedural costs.

Economic perspectives emphasize social redistribution and the critical importance of needs-based support amid inflationary pressures. They advocate for immediate, targeted public spending (approximately 6 million euros per half-year) aimed at alleviating poverty, contrasting this approach with broader tax relief measures that fail to assist the most vulnerable.

Insufficient data.

The speaker advocates for an immediate and targeted increase in social spending (raising the subsistence level) to alleviate the impact of inflation. He/She stresses the importance of needs-based benefits and considers social security crucial enough that funding should be secured through a supplementary budget, despite the Finance Minister’s alleged lack of resources.

The increase in funding for the social sector (SKAIS, subsistence level) is supported, while the high fees charged by private care homes are sharply criticized. These fees fail to ensure quality or high wages, serving instead to generate rapid profit. There is a recognized need for mechanisms to control price hikes or for price recommendations, ensuring that the state is not forced to cover the profits of private operators.
