The Estonian political party Parempoolsed held a council meeting where they introduced key themes for their electoral program. Party leader Lavly Perling indicated that economic growth and a reevaluation of the social welfare model are essential discussion points as Estonia prepares for parliamentary elections next year. She criticized the current social welfare model and advocated for a shift away from extensive state support, suggesting more liberal economic policies are necessary. Perling outlined Parempoolsed’s intentions to reduce the tax burden, revitalize privatization efforts, and cut regulations. Additionally, the party plans to lower labor taxes and adjust income tax rates to 18%. In foreign and security policy, they aim to approve a border state doctrine, reflecting a strong emphasis on national security within their political agenda. The discussion around the sustainability of free higher education also highlights a crucial debate in Estonia. Parempoolsed's stance suggests they believe changes are necessary to align educational policies with economic realities, indicating a broader shift in the party's vision for Estonia's future, particularly in light of the growing importance of both economic growth and national defense issues in electoral discourse.
