15th Riigikogu, 5th sitting, press briefing
The preference is for reducing or optimizing taxes (such as lowering the VAT on foodstuffs). The text criticizes previous tax changes that increased the tax burden and diminished purchasing power. It highlights the "Euro-social calculation," which demonstrates the taxation of purchasing power and population welfare. Furthermore, it criticizes car-centric tax preferences ("the car tax") and stresses the need for stable, coordinated financial management of the economy.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The systematization of economic crises and oppositional rhetoric directed against tax cuts and price increases; criticism of the current government's taxation policy (car tax, increases in VAT and income tax, excises) and expression of concern regarding the demographic and social impact. It offers, as an alternative, potential state revenue derived from major levies (a bank tax and the taxation of large international platforms), but fails to present specific implementation policies. The text emphasizes economic decline and rising poverty as primary examples of the resulting damage.
