15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary session
The political focus centers on the critical condition of the Estonian economy and the sharp criticism directed at the government's inaction, highlighting that the recession has now persisted for a third year. This stance is vehemently opposed to the government's policy of raising taxes (VAT, excise duties, car tax) and stresses the necessity of dropping the plan to abolish the tax hump while simultaneously introducing a bank tax. The overall approach is primarily policy- and performance-based, leveling accusations against the government for stifling economic growth and lacking any clear vision.

The most salient issue is the strong opposition to the proposed motor vehicle tax, for which the Centre Party is offering a bank tax as an alternative. The political stance is performance-based, criticizing the government's inability to find better solutions for covering national defense expenditures and accusing the Prime Minister of lying. Furthermore, the planned increases to existing taxes (VAT, income tax, and excises) are also being criticized.

This position is heavily focused on criticizing the government's actions and is primarily performance- and policy-driven.

15th Estonian Parliament, 3rd session, plenary session
The political position heavily focuses on security and defense policy, driven by foreign policy uncertainty. The speaker raises the issue of Europe needing to develop its own defense capabilities, given the potential uncertainty of the US commitment to defending NATO, referencing Donald Trump's statements. This is a policy and values-based framework that emphasizes self-assurance during an international crisis.
