By Plenary Sessions: Anti Poolamets

Economic views are strongly opposed to tax increases, arguing that they cause capital flight, businesses shutting down, and economic stagnation. To cover defense expenditures, they advocate for the issuance of government bonds (borrowing from their own people) and the public auction of minority stakes (up to 10%) in state-owned joint-stock companies. It is also desired that banks and large corporations contribute more to enhancing Estonia's defense capabilities.

It supports growth in productivity and sharply criticizes the reliance on cheap labor, arguing that this approach fails to boost productivity. It stands against state regulation, particularly when such regulation is totalitarian (referring to the Green Transition) and forces businesses to shut down. Criticism is directed at the government's alleged desire to increase regulation, despite having made promises to the contrary.

The economic perspectives focus on criticizing the government's financial incompetence and corruption, citing as an example Liina Kersna's public procurement which was 3 million euros overpriced. The speaker's stance is critical of waste and "shady dealings."

The economic views are strongly market-oriented and favor deregulation, emphasizing the autonomy of the business sector and opposing ideological state intervention through quotas. The speaker stresses that companies must decide for themselves how to generate profit, pointing out that paying taxes is already a heavy obligation. They support meritocracy and the prioritization of competence over social criteria in economic management.

The speaker emphasizes that limited borrowing capacity is hindering critical investments necessary to ensure the system's stability and security. Concern is expressed regarding the negative impact of financial discipline or funding restrictions on the long-term sustainability of vital infrastructure.

The speaker is vehemently opposed to the "super tax" imposed by Brussels under the pretext of CO2, which impacts the transport, hospitality, and energy sectors. This tax policy is viewed as the usurpation of national tax sovereignty, signaling a general opposition to external regulation and the imposition of taxes.

Not enough data

The speaker supports measures that foster economic growth, such as lowering excise duties, which, he claims, revitalized the service sector and put an end to cross-border trade. He is skeptical regarding the economic viability of wind farms, citing signs of bankruptcy in Sweden and Great Britain, and is concerned about the current economic downturn that is threatening jobs.

Insufficient data.

The speaker is fiercely anti-regulation, viewing new obligations (such as sustainability reporting) as ideological control over the private sector. He criticizes the fact that companies are forced to hire extra staff just to fill out mountains of paperwork, which only drives up costs and bureaucracy. The preference is clearly for a reduction in red tape and greater freedom for businesses.
