By Plenary Sessions: Andres Metsoja

The political position focuses on defending strong parliamentary democracy and government accountability. The speaker emphasizes that motions of no confidence must follow specific utterances, particularly those that belittle or undermine the parliament's role or capacity. This stance is strongly value-based, defending the authority and functional boundaries of the Riigikogu.

The political position is highly critical of the government's vague and contradictory reforms in the field of internal security. They particularly object to the transfer of functions to local municipalities without a clear mandate or adequate funding, as well as the ineffective budgetary decisions made during the crisis. These stances are primarily results-oriented, focusing on the lack of efficiency and comprehensive planning.

The political position is strongly opposed to the government’s tax hikes and economic policy, criticizing it as a “one-way ticket” leading the economy into a poor state. The main focus is on defending the autonomy of local government, which the speaker believes has been battered, and, where necessary, on the redistribution of state budget resources. The speaker frames their stance in terms of outcomes, stressing that redistribution in itself does not create wealth.

The political stance is highly critical of the government's excise and tax policies, particularly concerning fuel excises and the proposed car tax. The speaker emphasizes that the current tax environment is eroding the competitiveness of Estonian businesses and leading to a decline in export volumes. The focus is on implementing a results-based framework, while simultaneously warning against the deterioration of the economic environment and the resulting job losses.

The political position is focused on reforming social care, strongly emphasizing the urgent need to shift towards home care, following the Nordic model. The speaker views this topic as highly important and is concentrating on improving service accessibility and finding solutions that are more convenient and sensible for the client. This stance is clearly policy-driven and solution-oriented.
