The speaker is vehemently opposed to bringing in cheap foreign labor by relaxing quotas, arguing that this will suppress the wages of Estonian people and compel them to emigrate. He criticizes the Reform Party for abandoning the principles of a market economy by subsidizing specific economic sectors (energy, wind farms). He supports increasing tax incentives for philanthropy and private support of culture.

The speaker is strongly fiscally conservative, demanding cuts to administrative expenditures and the preparation of a negative supplementary budget. He opposes the car tax, arguing that it inhibits rural life.
