By Plenary Sessions: Mart Maastik

The political position is strongly opposed to restricting democracy in local elections based on party affiliation, and criticizes the proposed ban on electoral coalitions. The speaker supports the use of referendums and direct presidential elections, while simultaneously stressing the importance of one's worldview, particularly concerning the preservation and protection of property, which suggests a conservative outlook. The core framework is value-based, centered on the principles of democracy and integrity.

The speaker’s primary political priority is the survival of the nation and the demographic crisis, highlighting the peril posed by the 1.4 birth rate. He is vehemently opposed to the government policy that cut benefits for large families and criticizes the push to increase foreign labor quotas. Furthermore, the speaker supports stripping voting rights from citizens of third countries, particularly those from aggressor states, citing Isamaa’s earlier proposal.

The political stance is strongly opposed to the government's economic policy, which is described as driving the economy to the brink of collapse. The most critical issues are listening to entrepreneurs and restoring purchasing power through tax cuts, especially concerning the VAT on foodstuffs. The policy framework is strictly results-oriented, demanding immediate action from the Prime Minister to save the Estonian economy.

Political disputes center around the car tax (specifically the CO2 and weight components) and energy policy, where the government representative defends the tax's structure and emphasizes the availability of electricity in rural areas. The opposition is strongly opposed to terminating the universal service, demanding that it be supplemented by implementing a price cap for crisis situations. The preservation of consumer protection is also important, especially in the context of easing regulations concerning precious metals.

The political stance is strongly anti-government, criticizing the proposed car tax bill as ineffective in achieving climate goals and detrimental to rural life. Furthermore, the speaker questions the government's unity and operational capacity, citing examples of coalition partners blaming each other over migration quotas and salary disputes (teachers, rescue workers). This platform is primarily based on criticizing the failures of the government's actions and policies.

The political focus centers on Estonia’s foreign policy traditions and its relationship with the USA, the country’s largest military partner. The speaker takes a moderate stance against the public criticism of Donald Trump coming from high-ranking government officials (Kallas, Mihkelson), viewing such actions as a breach of diplomatic protocol and strategically hazardous. The text stresses the necessity for longer-term strategic thinking in foreign communication, advocating for an approach that is policy- and results-driven.

The political position centers on staunch opposition to the car tax, criticizing its ineffectiveness both in achieving environmental objectives and in the rationale provided for financing defense spending. The primary focus is on preventing residents of rural and peripheral areas from being burdened by new taxes. The argumentation is strongly policy-driven, emphasizing the negative impact of the proposed legislation on regional policy.

The politician strongly opposes the government's tax hike policy (VAT, car tax, fuel excise duty), viewing it as an inhibitor of economic growth and a factor increasing the burden on entrepreneurs. The primary framework is results-oriented, emphasizing the necessity of streamlining state finances through expenditure reduction, rather than increasing taxation. He also voices concern regarding the demographic crisis and the survival of the nation, while opposing the increase of the foreign labor quota.
