15th Riigikogu, 6th Session, Plenary Sitting

15th Riigikogu, 6th Session, Information Hour
The economic views are strongly focused on supporting low-wage earners (those earning 1,000–1,600 euros) and stand in opposition to the government's fiscal policy, which is increasing the state's debt burden. They criticize the overall impact of the tax changes, which forces low-income workers to send 3.7% of their earnings to foreign banks as interest payments, while they themselves receive only a marginal benefit in return.

Economic views are strongly geared towards progressivism and redistribution, standing in opposition to tax relief aimed at the wealthiest. They support a strong, tax-funded state to ensure social services and healthcare.
