By Plenary Sessions: Arvo Aller

The political stance is firmly focused on strengthening the ties between the state and local government—a goal the speaker identifies as the primary objective of the proposed legislation. It is stressed that this connection can only be effectively maintained through political parties, in strong contrast to electoral coalitions, which are dismissed as an ineffective "hodgepodge" or "jumble." The underlying framework of this position is distinctly political-structural and value-based, prioritizing the central role of established political parties.

The political focus is heavily centered on reducing the Value Added Tax (VAT) on foodstuffs to 5% to ease the burden on low-income families and ensure food security. This stance is forceful and highly critical of the current tax policy, which has driven up food prices and pushed the agricultural sector into losses. The presentation of the draft bill is primarily driven by policy and values, emphasizing the protection of both domestic producers and consumers.

The speaker strongly emphasizes internal security and national defense, criticizing the government’s lack of a plan to cope with the threat of mass immigration (up to half a million people). The political priority is securing a pay raise for Rescue Board (Päästeamet) and PPA employees, recognizing them as frontline personnel during the state budget strategy negotiations. These positions are strongly value-based and aimed at improving the government's performance.

The political focus is on cooperation between Estonia and Ukraine, especially in the digital sector and infrastructure development. The speaker clearly supports activities such as the construction of kindergartens and bomb shelters, but questions the goal and significance of the 800,000 euro cost for a specific digital project (the mRiik app). The stance is policy-driven, focusing on the financial clarity of international cooperation.

The political position is strongly opposed to raising indirect taxes, specifically criticizing the coalition's planned increases to excise duties, VAT, and the proposed car tax. The speaker emphasizes that these tax hikes will directly impact the final consumer and the food industry focused on the Estonian domestic market. The stance is clearly outcome-based, focusing on the negative effect of these tax policies on the cost of living.

The political position focuses on consumer protection and food safety, demanding the mandatory enactment of special labeling for insect-based foods to ensure consumers have a clear understanding of the product they are purchasing. The speaker stresses that current official recommendations are insufficient because non-compliance cannot be penalized, and therefore strongly supports the adoption of the proposed bill. The focus is both value-driven and policy-driven, emphasizing honesty toward the consumer.

The political position is strongly focused on supporting Ukraine, emphasizing the inclusion of a specific NGO (For Ukraine) on a list that will likely grant them tax benefits. The focus is value-driven, consciously supporting the channeling of donated aid directly to Ukrainian fighters. The speaker is an active policy maker who seeks to influence the legislative list.

The political position is fiercely opposed to the current direction of the European Union's Green Transition, which is being labeled "green frenzy" and "green insanity." The speaker demands that Estonia take a leading role in Europe to halt this trajectory and instead focus on developing rural life and agriculture. The focus rests on the economic hardships stemming from compliance with the Green Deal requirements and the resulting increase in bureaucracy. This is a value-driven and results-oriented position, emphasizing the need to secure the livelihood of rural regions.

The political focus is on the effectiveness of the government's activities, particularly the integration of immigrants into the workforce and the sustainability of funding for regional sports projects. Pragmatic, policy-based questions are being raised, demanding clarification regarding the operations of the Unemployment Insurance Fund (Töötukassa) and the plans for the State Budget Strategy (RES). The stance is moderately critical, emphasizing the need for robust state intervention to support regional development.
