15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting
The speaker is vehemently opposed to tax hikes (VAT, car tax) and cuts to family benefits, arguing that these measures disproportionately affect the poorest segments of society and families with children. They criticize the government's financial squandering (subsidies for wind and solar energy, Rail Baltic) and advocate for considering the taxation of banks' massive profits as an alternative revenue stream. They favor a fiscal policy that genuinely considers the real-life situations of families and businesses.
