By Plenary Sessions: Evelin Poolamets

The political platform is strongly opposed to the rising tax burden (VAT, income tax) and EU bureaucracy (sustainability reporting/ESG), which is viewed as ideological pressure. Emphasis is placed on issues related to the economic recession, social inequality (pensioners, the less affluent), and freedom of enterprise. The position is strongly confrontational and value-driven, focusing on defending the autonomy of businesses and criticizing the activities of state-owned enterprises (RMK). The politician warns of the resulting loss of the sense of fairness and the ensuing chaos caused by the tax hikes.

The speaker strongly opposes the government's regional and foreign labor policies, prioritizing the integrity and security of the state above all else. The main themes addressed are the marginalization of Southeast Estonia and the mass importation of cheap foreign labor, which is viewed as the effective destruction of the nation-state. The political framework is strongly value-based (national identity, security) and results-oriented (criticism of the Reform Party's hypocrisy).

The political stance is strongly focused on ensuring gender balance and constitutional propriety, criticizing the Reform Party's policy inconsistency regarding the nomination of female candidates to high-ranking positions. The economic viewpoint is also significant, supporting an increase in the volume of oil shale electricity production in order to lower electricity prices. Criticism is aimed at both value-based governance (gender equality) and results-based governance (the constitutionality of the budget). Furthermore, the issue of ignoring the Chancellor of Justice’s observations is highlighted.

The political position is strongly directed against the current course of the green transition, which is considered economically unsustainable and "based on hope." At the same time, there is strong support for ensuring energy security through the use of domestic oil shale resources, emphasizing their strategic importance. The reduction of bureaucracy is also an important topic, demanded both as a goal in the coalition agreement and in specific legislative proposals. The political framework is strongly results-oriented and values-driven, criticizing the current system as "red" (meaning negative/in the red in terms of economy and logic).

The political focus centers on the implementation of the Name Act and its relationship with gender and identity. One speaker stressed the necessity of legal clarity when registering unconventional names, while another adopted a strong values-based position, opposing the ideological approach that decouples a name from biological sex. This robust opposition is rooted in values, aiming to protect the rule of law and social order against ideological schemes.

The political position is strongly value-based, focusing on the protection of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of opinion. The speaker expresses concern that Estonia is moving toward a situation where freedom of speech depends on the acceptability of the views expressed, citing the Prosecutor General's statements regarding Varro Vooglaid as an example. This stance is strongly opposed to any form of state pressure that would restrict the publication of foreign policy analyses.

The political position is strongly opposed to the government's green transition ideology and the related draft legislation (Bill 541) that accelerates the adoption of renewable energy. The criticism is leveled on both value-based grounds (the protection of rural life and communities) and political grounds (the restriction of local government rights). The speaker asserts that these decisions are being made in the interest of ideology and a narrow business clique, rather than in the interest of the Estonian people.

The political focus is on the effectiveness of regulations and the protection of consumer interests in the banking sector. The speaker is moderately critical, raising doubts about whether the legislative amendment will be able to regulate cross-border banks and bring down service fees. Concern is also highlighted regarding the increase in administrative burden, which suggests a performance-driven approach to policy.
