15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary session.
Economic views are aimed at criticizing the state's fiscal discipline, particularly when it is achieved at the expense of tax increases and cuts affecting vulnerable groups, measures which have been labeled the "tax festival" and the "tax cascade." It is emphasized that increasing healthcare co-payments leads to impoverishment and inaccessibility of services, and that marginal sums (1.3–1.5 million) should not be taken from the most vulnerable.

15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary sitting
Economic views are strongly opposed to tax increases (VAT, fuel excise duty, car tax), arguing that they disproportionately harm the livelihoods of rural residents and exacerbate inequality. We support protecting the incomes of vulnerable groups (pensioners) from cuts. We favor policies that promote regional development, rather than "timid and unambitious sustainable degrowth."
