By Plenary Sessions: Helir-Valdor Seeder

The political position centers on procedural action, underscoring the necessity of voting on the proposed amendments. The speaker’s position is rooted in both policy and values, as they demand a vote and issue a warning, urging their colleagues to consider the consequences of their decisions.

The political position is firmly opposed to the draft bill, centering on the violation of the principle of legal certainty and the increased taxation of landowners. The focus is placed on the government’s breach of faith, given that the previously established land tax increase schedule is being altered retroactively and on short notice. The political framework is aimed at safeguarding the confidence of citizens and businesses in the state authority.

The speaker adopts a strong opposition stance, focusing on criticizing the government’s tax policy (car tax, increase in state fees) and procedural injustice. The arguments are heavily rooted in values and outcomes, accusing the government of hypocrisy, deceit, and eroding public trust. They demand the suspension of the processing of the draft legislation, citing the violation of the principles of legal certainty and democracy.

The political stance is strongly opposed to the government's actions, which are described as incompetent, dishonest, and deceitful. The main focus is directed at the government breaking its promises (the income tax exemption for pensions, the car tax) and the "brutal cuts" in the social sector. Although the speaker supports making the state more efficient and fiscally responsible, their criticism is primarily aimed at the government's ethical performance and the erosion of public trust.

The most prominent issue is the taxation of pensions and the reduction of family benefits, measures the speaker vehemently opposes, labeling them "brutal cuts." This stance is intensely value-driven, highlighting social justice, solidarity, and the erosion of state credibility caused by broken election promises. The speaker expresses serious concern regarding the trust placed in politicians and the state, which, in his view, has suffered a catastrophic decline.
