By Plenary Sessions: Andres Metsoja

The speaker, representing the Isamaa faction, expresses strong opposition to the motor vehicle tax amendment bill and the car tax in its entirety, deeming it politically unjust. This opposition is primarily value-based, highlighting the growing inequality between regions and raising concerns about the integrity of Estonia. The bill as a whole cannot receive support, even though some specific details have been deemed palatable.

The speaker supports environmental objectives and waste reform but strongly insists that these must align with the principles of the rule of law and legitimate expectation. He strongly opposes the draft Subsoil Act, deeming it poor and unjust from the perspective of legal proportionality, as it shifts the costs onto the private sector and favors the state-owned company Enefit in the allocation of oil shale resources. The political framework is clearly policy- and value-driven, focusing on the quality of legislation and a level playing field for the market.

The political position is strongly opposed to the government-imposed motor vehicle tax (MVM), calling it unfair and promising its repeal upon gaining power. The speaker criticizes the state as a "nanny state" that attempts to fix problems of its own creation, and emphasizes the importance of a property-based state and constitutional precision. The position is strongly value-based, focusing on the protection of property rights and opposition to state over-regulation.

The political position centers on strong criticism regarding the lack of transparency in state budget proceedings and the disregard for agreed-upon commitments. The speaker stresses the need for accountability when large sums of money (10 million) are unexpectedly left over, while promised developments (in Pärnu) remain unfinished. The stance is strongly procedural and results-oriented, calling into question the very purpose of parliamentary debate if budget execution is so unpredictable.
