Fifteenth Riigikogu, Fifth Session, Plenary Session.
The focus is on Estonia's domestic economy and the daily lives of its people, but a strong international comparison is also drawn. Estonia is negatively compared to its neighbors (Latvia, Finland, Sweden), who are lowering taxes, and it is stressed that under the leadership of the Reform Party, Estonia is becoming the most expensive country in the Baltic Sea region. Cross-border trade is mentioned, specifically people shopping in Latvia and the disappearance of Finnish tourists.
