By Plenary Sessions: Vadim Belobrovtsev

The politician strongly opposes the expedited processing of bills, arguing that it sets precedents and is highly unusual, especially when dealing with constitutionally questionable legislation. This stance is principled, stressing the need for a thorough process rather than rushing things right before the summer recess. He emphasizes that this is "a pretty big deal" that requires careful deliberation.

The political stance is highly critical of the governing coalition, particularly regarding the ramming through of bills considered unconstitutional and the disregard for the opinions of authoritative interest groups (e.g., associations of local governments). It supports the principle of the digital state, where data is not consolidated into a single database, and stresses the necessity of motivating new teachers with a more substantial salary. The political framework is strongly value-based, focusing on the constitutional order and deficiencies in parliamentary culture.

The speaker strongly opposes the draft bill on preventing money laundering, arguing that it jeopardizes the principles of decentralized data in the e-state and could lead to the creation of a police state. This stance is value-based, emphasizing the priority of personal data protection and security, even though the initiators assess the risks as only moderate. It raises the question of whether the money laundering situation in the country is truly so dramatic as to justify an initiative of questionable value.

The political position is strongly critical of the Ministry of Justice’s decision to cease translating laws into Russian. The speaker stresses the necessity of guaranteeing access to labor legislation for the approximately 400,000 Russian-speaking residents and Ukrainian refugees, prioritizing social awareness and the prevention of labor disputes. The criticism is aimed both at the political decision itself and at the credibility of the minister, who is accused of not being entirely truthful about the reasons cited for the cost savings.

The speaker represents a strong opposition viewpoint, criticizing both the actions of the ruling coalition at the national level and the political tactics employed by the Tallinn city government. The key issues addressed are social policy (free kindergarten) and constitutional matters (the bill on religious associations). The overall framework is heavily value-driven (focusing on constitutionality and family well-being) and accusatory (framed as a pre-election battle). The speaker firmly supports eliminating kindergarten fees both in Tallinn and across the country, while simultaneously opposing the government's rushed amendments to labor legislation.

The political stance is strongly oppositional towards the government's tax policy, particularly concerning pensioners. The most acute issues are the income taxation of pensions starting from 776 euros, and widespread tax hikes (VAT, motor vehicle tax). The criticism is aimed at the government's inability to fulfill its election promises and ensure the financial well-being of the elderly. This criticism is primarily performance-based and values-based.

The speaker supports the reduction of bureaucracy for childcare service providers, but their primary political focus remains the state's inadequate contribution to kindergarten and school meals. They criticize the government for its failure to make necessary investments in children's health, emphasizing that the state's contribution (1 euro) has not changed in seven years, despite a 40% increase in food prices. This position is strongly policy- and value-based, demanding greater state responsibility in the social sphere.

The political position is fiercely oppositional, focusing on the government's inaction and failure to alleviate poverty and boost the birth rate. The most pressing issues are the reduction of benefits for large families and the taxation of pensioners, both of which increase the risk of poverty. The focus is on the government's poor performance and its negative impact on people's real lives, not on Excel spreadsheets.

The political stance is highly critical of the government's failure to regulate micro-mobility devices (e-scooters), stressing that the state has dropped the ball and the police are under-resourced to manage the situation. The primary political objective is to support granting greater powers to local authorities (particularly Tallinn) to restrict the number and placement of these scooters. The speaker delivers a sharp critique of the coalition's political culture, which is characterized by the automatic refusal to support opposition proposals. This position is chiefly directed at criticizing the government's performance and the inefficiency of the parliament.

The political stance is heavily focused on improving funding for the education sector, demanding a swift and realistic increase in the minimum teacher salary threshold, alongside greater state participation in school meal provision. Criticism targets the coalition's failure to deliver on earlier salary pledges (120% of the average wage) and its inability to respond effectively to inflation. The focus remains on performance-based criticism, emphasizing the government's shortcomings within the framework of specific figures and promises.

The political focus is on the financial management of the Rail Baltic project and the credibility of the Prime Minister’s statements. The speaker expresses strong skepticism regarding the government's capability to complete the project, especially given the €400–500 million funding shortfall. The stance is highly critical of the government's priorities and actions, focusing on performance-driven criticism.

The political focus is directed at criticizing the transparency and clarity of government actions and documents, particularly in the context of the supplementary budget. Furthermore, concerns are being raised regarding the practical implications of the qualification requirements for youth workers outlined in the coalition agreement. The overall stance is moderately critical, centering on the quality and accountability of the government's work.
