By Plenary Sessions: Urmas Reinsalu

The main legislative priority is the postponement of the Reform Party’s income tax-free minimum reform, achieved by supporting the corresponding bill from the Isamaa Party. Additionally, emphasis is placed on the necessity of creating a realistic plan for saving state administration costs and accelerating the implementation of European Union structural funds (including the apartment building renovation program).

The primary areas of focus are the land tax bill (opposition due to the absence of a substantive impact analysis), the teachers' salary bill (support during the final vote, but criticism regarding the handling of the process), and the bill concerning the lowering of the voting age (strong opposition). The priority is to use parliament to mandate that the government present a holistic energy policy resolution covering both security of supply and competitive pricing.

The primary legislative focus is ensuring the processing of the motion of no confidence against the Minister of Economic Affairs and providing clarity regarding the organization of parliamentary work. Furthermore, emphasis is placed on the government's responsibility for the delays in the apartment building renovation program, which would necessitate the adoption of corresponding decisions.

The legislative focus is on opposing the government's draft bill concerning the taxation of pensions and the cascade of tax increases. The speaker highlights the amendment proposed by Isamaa, which offers, as a compromise, postponing the abolition of the tax hump for four years. Criticism is also directed at the rapporteur's failure to introduce the amendments during the second reading.

The legislative focus is aimed at opposing government-initiated bills that increase bureaucracy and the tax burden. Specifically, an immediate moratorium is demanded on the climate law initiative, as it undermines competitiveness and lacks a substantive cost analysis.

The speaker is a strong proponent of the legislation allowing the utilization of frozen Russian assets, viewing it as serving the interests of international law, aiding Ukraine, and setting a crucial precedent. However, he is fiercely opposed to the reforms initiated by the Ministry of Climate (the climate law, water reform, and waste reform), arguing that they introduce new burdens and uncertainty without adequate impact analysis.

The legislative focus is on overseeing the execution of the state budget and informing the legislature about the actual expenditure of the budget. It is emphasized that the budget volume determined by the legislature must be clearly accounted for and disclosed, and that this information is necessary to ensure transparency in the management of public funds.

The legislative focus is currently on amending the regulation of electoral rights, specifically exploring options for the suspension or permanent revocation of voting rights for citizens of aggressor states. The objective is to compel the government to make a political decision based on the recommendations provided by the security services.

It focuses on compliance with the Riigikogu Rules of Procedure Act and the right of parliament members to vote separately on amendments. Key legislative priorities include streamlining state finances (a negative supplementary budget, spending ceilings) and the swift implementation of the law concerning the utilization of Russian oligarchs' assets (the so-called "whistleblowing project").

The legislative focus is currently on budgetary policy and tax legislation. The speaker opposes the proposed version of the new car tax and supports the Isamaa party's proposal to reduce government expenditures. Furthermore, there is an emphasis on the need to amend the budget law to ensure the legality and smooth execution of financing transactions related to aid for Ukraine.

The Riigikogu's position on the church issue is supported, but the necessity of concrete legal steps by the government (national sanctions) is stressed. Among the priorities is the Isamaa draft bill for establishing Estonian language requirements in the service sector, the systematic undermining of which is criticized. Furthermore, the government's actions are criticized for having necessitated an amendment to the state budget law concerning the teachers' salary fund.
