By Plenary Sessions: Mart Maastik

The speaker's main political stance is opposition to fulfilling state promises (the Iru power plant subsidies) and setting unrealistic environmental and energy policy goals. He supports the proposal put forth by the Chancellor of Justice, but sharply criticizes the erosion of Estonian sovereignty and the inability to make constitutionally compliant decisions. His position is strongly directed against the government’s poor planning and mismanagement, warning of future costs that will run into the billions.

The political position is strongly ideology-driven and sharply opposes the current coalition's education policy, particularly concerning gender identity and the content of school curricula. The speaker dismisses the topic as "utter nonsense" and demands mandatory, politically agreed-upon textbooks to prevent the promotion of "pseudoscience." The stance is values-based, emphasizing the necessity of protecting children from negative role models.

The political focus is heavily centered on opposing the car tax. Criticism is being leveled against both the tax's lack of transparency (specifically, the absence of detailed billing information) and its unfair structure, with opponents claiming the tax was designed specifically to "fleece the public." The criticism targets both the policy objectives and the poor implementation (performance-driven).

The political position is strongly oppositional, focusing on government accountability and the quality of its decisions. The speaker sharply criticizes the state aid provided to the insolvent company Nordica and deems the Saaremaa offshore wind farm project economically unjustified and a waste of public funds. The framing is results-oriented, emphasizing the consequences of poor decisions and the lack of accountability within the political arena.

The political stance is highly critical of the government’s defense spending and tax policy. The speaker calls into question the proportionality and necessity of the security tax, since the government’s planned expenditures (0.6 billion) fall significantly short of the amount requested by the top brass of the Defense Forces (1.6 billion). This position is results-oriented, focusing on the government’s ability to meet defense objectives in order to justify the tax burden placed on the public.

The political priority is solving the demographic problem and ensuring the survival of Estonians, which is considered an even greater problem than national defense. The speaker strongly opposes the government's inconsistent family policy, particularly the removal of benefits for large families, which undermines the confidence and security of young families. The approach is clearly value-based, emphasizing the traditional family model and the need for statesmanship.

The political position strongly demands transparency and accountability, lending support to the draft legislation concerning the submission of expense reports. Simultaneously, the speaker stresses the necessity of ensuring integrity and oversight for all state officials, including judges and prosecutors, raising the question of who investigates their misconduct. The speaker criticizes the singling out of Riigikogu members for exceptional scrutiny and calls for the systematic expansion of transparency across the entire state administration.
