The prioritization of the state's strategic objectives and challenges

15th Estonian Parliament, third sitting, information briefing

Economic perspectives support achieving budget balance and the temporary postponement of large, costly projects (the green transition) in order to redirect financial resources toward critical national defense. Economic recession and saving the budget are lower on the list of priorities than security, as their delay will not cause an immediate catastrophe.

First Reading of the Draft Resolution (274 OE) of the Riigikogu "Making a Proposal to the Government of the Republic to Prepare and Restore a Militarized Border Guard as a Separate Agency"

15th Estonian Parliament, 3rd sitting, plenary session

The economic stance is tied to radical cost prioritization, demanding that large investments related to the green transition and foregone revenue (e.g., 1.5 billion euros per year) should be redirected or postponed to ensure immediate security. It is emphasized that the immediate threat must be an economic priority, as retaking the territory would cost significantly more in human lives and other respects.
