By Plenary Sessions: Vilja Toomast

The speaker supports the proceedings regarding the amendment to the Penal Code (increasing the fine unit), having voted in favor of placing the draft bill on the agenda and concluding the first reading. His position is politically driven by the historical rationale of the legislation and the necessity of aligning the fine unit with the growth of the average wage since 2001. He emphasizes that increasing fines should primarily encourage adherence to the law, rather than merely serving as a tool for budget fulfillment.
