By Plenary Sessions: Vadim Belobrovtsev

Economic views are fiercely opposed to taxes, particularly the car tax, which is considered a poor decision. The negative impact on consumers is emphasized, citing high food prices and criticizing the optimism of the Minister of Finance (Akkermann).

The economic outlook centers on monitoring the execution of the state budget and ensuring the effective utilization of resources. Criticism is directed at the situation where there is a budget surplus (3.6 million euros) while vital public services (such as the fire and rescue unit) are being cut. Emphasis is placed on the necessity of potentially utilizing reserves to guarantee the provision of these services.

Domestically, the speaker supports strict fiscal discipline and transparency, sharply criticizing the unrestricted use and misuse of ministerial budgetary funds. Internationally, he advocates for reforming the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) to strengthen the Eurozone's resilience against economic shocks.

The speaker supports reducing politicians' expenditures (cutting benefits) and emphasizes the need for fiscal discipline among the political elite. They view the reduction of costs as an opportunity to demonstrate solidarity with Estonian society.

Economic positions are aimed at easing the financial burden on both local governments and parents. They oppose raising taxes and excises, and demand that the state provide additional funding when imposing new obligations. The state's actions, which tend to distribute obligations rather than funds, are viewed negatively.

Supports the introduction of a bank tax (a solidarity levy) to tax the increased profits of commercial banks and direct the revenue towards security funding. It is critical of broad-based tax increases (VAT, income tax, car tax, fuel excise duty) that will painfully hit poorer population groups, and opposes taxing pensions with income tax.

Economic viewpoints relate to the budget process, and there is strong support for the principle that employment must be tied to remuneration. This indicates a desire to implement strict accountability and fiscal discipline both in the use of public funds and in the compensation system for politicians.

The speaker is strongly opposed to tax hikes and emphasizes the importance of a stable economic environment. He views economic security as the foundation for family policy and demographic success, and criticizes the government for engaging in fear-mongering and creating instability.

Economic views are strongly opposed to tax hikes, viewing them as an excessive burden on citizens and merely a way to patch up budget deficits. They prefer avoiding taxation on essential commodities (such as fuel) and protecting incomes (pensions, family benefits), while criticizing the government's desire to constantly dip into the taxpayer's pocket.

Insufficient data.

Economic views are fiscally cautious and oppose widespread tax hikes, especially the fuel excise duty, given its negative impact on captive consumers. The speaker is concerned about the rising cost of living and people's ability to cope, pointing to the combined effect of the proposed car tax, VAT increases, and other excise duties. The speaker also questions a tax policy that diminishes public optimism.
