15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary session
Culture is viewed as an economic revenue stream, not merely an expense, citing the creative economy and the Film Estonia cash rebate system as examples, which injects resources into the economy. There is strong support for state intervention to raise the salaries of cultural workers and ensure social protection for creative professionals.

15th Estonian Parliament, 3rd sitting, plenary session
Economic viewpoints center on the targeted allocation of state resources, arguing that educating Ukrainian children within the Estonian school system constitutes "a waste of resources" and places an additional burden on teachers. Opposition is also expressed regarding the use of public funds to establish Ukrainian-language schools or mother-tongue schools for other refugee groups.
