By Plenary Sessions: Andres Metsoja

The political stance is strongly oppositional, focusing on the procedural and substantive deficiencies of the government's draft legislation. The speaker stresses the need for stability, legal certainty, and precise wording in lawmaking, while criticizing the constant reorganization and shuffling of ministries and sectors. The critique of the drafts targets both procedural errors (such as the lack of opposition involvement) and inadequate financial analysis. Stability within these fields is considered a greater value than the frequent reworking of the system.

The political position is critical of the government's activities, particularly concerning the creation of legal uncertainty and needless bureaucracy in the processing of oil shale extraction permits. Strong concern is also expressed regarding the regional disparity of the planned budget cuts, emphasizing that these cuts will once again hit rural areas. The focus is directed at criticizing the policy's lack of foresight and the absence of a holistic view.

The political position is strongly opposed to the government's fiscal policy, criticizing it for its lack of vision and for eroding public confidence. The speaker calls for serious spending cuts at the national level and opposes tax hikes, while simultaneously stressing the necessity of guaranteeing a fair revenue base for local municipalities. The criticism is primarily aimed at the government’s actions and overall effectiveness.

The political stance focuses on the creation of the Land and Space Agency (Maa- ja Ruumiamet), which the speaker approaches skeptically, viewing it more as an attempt to fix past mistakes rather than a solution to the existing gap between local governments and state representatives. He emphasizes the lack of legal clarity in planning documents and strongly supports making decisions as locally as possible and in cooperation with municipalities. The speaker frames his position based on policy and values, stressing the importance of regional governance and shaping the living environment.

The speaker strongly opposes rapid legislation enacted without proper impact assessment, particularly in the field of tax policy, labeling it "definitely a bad law." The political focus centers on criticizing the government's actions and expressing concern over future tax hikes (such as the 50% ceiling increase). Emphasis is also placed on the necessity of improving the sustainability of local governments' revenue base, an issue that remains unresolved even following the administrative reform. The political framework is primarily results-based, criticizing the government for inefficiency and haste.

The political stance is unequivocally opposed to tax hikes, specifically demanding the abolition of the motor vehicle tax, a position put forward by the Isamaa party. It is stressed that tax increases must be viewed comprehensively, and their impact on the development of the Estonian economic environment must be assessed. This position is strongly policy- and outcome-driven.

Critical of the government's lack of strategic planning, particularly concerning education network reforms and the management of state assets. Supports addressing the issue of voting rights for citizens of aggressor states but criticizes the coalition's slow pace and procedural inconsistency. Strongly emphasizes the connections between security, economic development, and an educated workforce.

The political stance is one of strong opposition to the coalition's tax policy, especially the motor vehicle tax, which is considered highly unfair and detrimental to rural residents. The necessity of fulfilling European Union obligations (waste reform, Natura sites) is also stressed in order to avoid infringement proceedings and fines. This position is aimed at criticizing the government's actions and effectiveness both domestically and within the EU context.
