By Plenary Sessions: Siim Pohlak

The speaker is strongly opposed to tax increases, calling it a "tax spree" that is damaging the Estonian economy and leading to company bankruptcies. He emphasizes the need to listen to businesses (both SMEs and well as large companies), as the government's current actions are having a negative impact on the business environment.

Strongly supports targeted taxation (an extraordinary profit tax on banks) as an effective tool for significantly supplementing the state budget. It denies claims that such a tax harms the lending market, and criticizes the government's inability to steer the economy and make electricity prices more affordable for consumers.

Economic views strongly oppose tax hikes, stressing that these measures drive companies into bankruptcy and increase the debt burden on individuals. They favor issuing targeted state bonds to finance national defense, rather than implementing taxes that damage the business environment. Fiscal responsibility is advocated, and past wasteful spending—which resulted in the state budget running a deficit—is heavily criticized.

The speaker is strongly opposed to tax increases, especially those affecting essential goods (VAT on food, electricity, and fuel) and small businesses. They advocate for seeking tax revenue from large banks (via an extraordinary profit tax/windfall tax) and from foreign major corporations that transfer advertising revenue out of Estonia tax-free. They demand the restoration of economic security, the reduction of bureaucracy, and the fair management of state finances.
