Margus Tsahkna speaks with ERR. He says that the Social Democrats want tax increases.
He says that the government is in a difficult position. The government does not have enough money. It is difficult to increase defense spending and employee salaries.
Last year, the government raised income tax. This gave people more money. Now there is more money. Many are asking if the tax increases were necessary.
Tsahkna says that some taxes are not necessary. For example, a car tax. A car tax is not beneficial. The Social Democrats want a car tax, but it is not necessary.
Tsahkna says that the government wants to help people. He wants to reduce the tax burden. For example, increasing the salaries of teachers and rescuers is important, but a car tax is not.
Tsahkna says that the Social Democrats want more money from people. Eesti 200 wants people to have more money. This will help the economy.
Tsahkna says that Eesti 200 will not disband. The party is doing good work and hopes for good feedback.
