By Plenary Sessions: Henn Põlluaas

The political position is strongly oppositional, centered on the failure of the government's economic policy, the growth of poverty, and risks to national security. The speaker sharply criticizes the government's optimistic narrative, demanding honesty and accountability. The focus is on both performance-based criticism (economic indicators) and values-based criticism (security, honesty).

The political focus is currently centered on the issue of taxing banks' windfall profits. The speaker expresses strong opposition to the arguments put forward by those against the taxation, particularly the assertions made by Minister of Economic Affairs Tiit Riisalo, which, in the speaker’s view, lack any substantive justification. This stance is clearly focused on policy and economics, demanding that the opposing side provide a substantive basis for their arguments.

The speaker is strongly opposed to the actions of the government and the Interior Minister, focusing on issues of historical memory and national defense. The core arguments involve protecting the memory of the men who fought for Estonia (regardless of the uniform they wore) and ceasing the undermining of Ukraine's defense capability by stopping the granting of protection to military conscripts in Estonia. These positions are deeply value-based, emphasizing national honor, duty, and the incompetence of the government. The speaker criticizes the government for its feebleness and its capitulation in the face of Russian information warfare.

The political stance is one of strong opposition to the 2025 state budget, which is deemed opaque, illogical, and likely to result in catastrophic consequences. Simultaneously, strong support is voiced for recognizing the 1944 mass deportation of Crimean Tatars as an act of genocide, underscoring that this was a moral and timeless crime. Criticism of the budget targets both political failure and the neglect of value-based protection (families, pensioners).

The speaker strongly opposes the government's draft bill, criticizing it for its cynicism and for eroding the public's sense of security. The political position is values-driven, focusing on the necessity of ensuring the well-being and ability of families, children, and people to cope, especially against the backdrop of the demographic crisis. The rhetoric is strongly oppositional and accusatory, suggesting that the country is being governed by the principle of "after us, the deluge."

The political focus is on the effectiveness and accountability of state-funded infrastructure projects. The speaker is challenging the justification for the high cost of internet services, especially considering that taxpayers contributed approximately 170 million euros toward building the broadband network. This stance is heavily focused on results, demanding that the government explain why these public investments have failed to result in lower service prices.
