By Plenary Sessions: Vadim Belobrovtsev

The political platform is heavily focused on socio-economic relief, specifically highlighting the reduction of VAT on food and the provision of free school lunches. The party's stance is critical, zeroing in on the ironic contradiction between the coalition's rhetoric and its actual actions. The speaker positions their own party (the Centre Party) as a constructive opposition that actively proposes solutions.

The political position is strongly anti-government, focusing specifically on freezing civil servants' salaries for 2025. The speaker deems the situation—where the minimum salary for a cultural worker holding a higher education degree remains stuck at 1600 euros—to be abnormal and unacceptable. This stance is forcefully directed at criticizing the government’s actions and economic policy, characterizing them as hostile toward state employees.

The political position is strongly focused on maintaining the alliance relationship with the US, supporting the restoration of the Consulate General in New York as an economically and strategically important step. The speaker sharply criticizes Estonia's foreign policy line during the UN vote, deeming it a breach of established practice and a diplomatic error (a "faux pas"). These views are primarily policy- and value-based, underscoring the importance of the signal being sent to allies.

The political focus centers on supporting families with children and improving the demographic situation, strongly advocating for an increase in state funding for child benefits and school lunches. The speaker sharply criticizes the government's actions, labeling them "anti-family" and stressing the necessity of establishing stability and a sense of security for families. This stance is strongly value-based, directly connecting social policy with the fundamental question of national continuity.

The political focus is directed towards the quality of work of state institutions and the management of resources. The speaker expresses concern regarding the proposal by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications (MKM) to assign the duties of the state conciliator to the Chancellor of Justice. Questions center on whether such an increase in workload has been coordinated and whether it will harm the quality of the Chancellor of Justice's work, using a performance-based framework.

The political position heavily emphasizes internal security and the capacity of law enforcement, while criticizing the government's actions regarding resources and wage policy. The speaker stresses that police understaffing and the lack of salary increases are directly linked to the spread of organized crime and drug problems. This is a results-oriented stance that urgently calls for increased police resources.

The political focus is on national security and civil defense. The speaker strongly supports a strategic shift away from intimidation toward the practical enhancement of crisis awareness and the will to defend among the Estonian population. This stance is policy- and results-based, criticizing the inefficiency of previous communication efforts.

The political position focuses on maintaining the 2023 salary level for internal security workers (police officers, rescue workers, and border guards), a decision that has faced strong criticism due to inflation. The speaker is vehemently opposed to the government's actions, emphasizing that the failure to deliver the promised pay increase damages employee motivation and national security. The underlying framework is results-oriented, centering on the government's inability to fulfill its earlier promises.

The political focus is currently on the draft legislation to designate the second day of Easter as a national holiday and a day off, a measure being presented as apolitical and popular among the public. The speaker strongly supports increasing the leisure time available to working people and strengthening family ties, while also stressing the importance of aligning Estonian laws with the practices of the majority of EU member states. This stance is value-based (family, rest) and oriented toward supporting the working population.

The speaker expressed strong opposition to Education Minister Kristina Kallas continuing in office, calling her competence into question. The political focus is results-oriented, highlighting the minister's failure to resolve issues regarding teachers' salaries and working conditions, as well as the technical problems encountered during the state gymnasium entrance exams. The Prime Minister is being pressed for an explanation as to why he still considers the minister competent to carry out her duties.
