The speaker advocates for fiscal transparency and the avoidance of administrative overhead, criticizing the waste and "management noise" generated by stopgap measures (a derivative of the car tax). He demands that revenues and expenditures be accurately reflected when formulating the state budget strategy, and is critical of presenting the costs of the prison project (€6 million) without corresponding revenue figures.

The speaker strongly advocates for fiscal discipline and the reduction of government spending to curb inflation, which he considers the main problem for the Estonian economy within the EU context. He opposes increases in indirect taxes (VAT, ETS2, excise duties) and retroactive taxation (the maritime transport tax). Furthermore, he criticizes the rapid growth of the debt burden and supports measures aimed at restoring the attractiveness of the business environment.

The economic views are strongly fiscally conservative, calling for lower taxes and the establishment of tax stability to improve Estonia’s competitiveness. It criticizes government policies that have led to an economic recession, the fastest price increase in Europe, and an additional tax burden exceeding one billion euros. It opposes the growth of administrative costs and the permanent normalization of the budget deficit, demanding cuts instead. It criticizes the state-centric mindset where money is collected through taxes and then selectively distributed back as subsidies (e.g., the car tax, subsidies for Tallink).

The economic platform is staunchly opposed to tax hikes and focused on fiscal responsibility. It calls for the implementation of a "tax moratorium" (or "tax peace") to combat inflation, which has made Estonia the European leader in price growth. It warns that tax increases and regulatory burdens (such as waste management reform and electricity tariffs) damage business activity and demands a €300 million reduction in government expenditure.

The speaker is vehemently opposed to tax hikes, viewing them as the primary driver of inflation and a detriment to the economy's competitiveness. He advocates for fiscal discipline through cuts in government spending (a 5% saving). He criticizes the government's policies for diminishing people's purchasing power and resulting in economic growth that is fueled mainly by tax increases, rather than genuine economic activity.

The speaker is a staunch opponent of tax hikes, criticizing the government's imposed increases to VAT, car, land, and income taxes, which diminish people's purchasing power. He deems the government's economic policy "detrimental to the economy" and calls for a reduction in administrative burden (sustainability reports). He advocates cutting governing expenditures by 300 million euros through a negative supplementary budget.

The speaker is vehemently opposed to tax hikes (on vehicles, income, excise duties, and VAT), arguing that they diminish net incomes, exacerbate inflation, and impede economic recovery. He calls for a reduction in government spending and greater transparency in the state budget, while criticizing the rapid increase in national debt. Furthermore, he advocates for competitive energy prices and strongly supports the concerns raised by business organizations regarding the government’s anti-economic policies.

Strong opposition to the proposed tax hikes (VAT, excise duties, car tax), which are viewed as detrimental to economic competitiveness and likely to increase inflationary pressure. The statement is critical of the Reform Party's "tax hump" project, arguing that it allegedly absorbs the revenue generated by the tax increases rather than funding national defense. It advocates for financing national defense through targeted bonds and utilizing EU resources (specifically, revenues from emissions trading).
