Lauri Läänemets said that there is 340 million euros of free money in the country. Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said there is 800 million euros. Läänemets talked about increased taxes coming in 2025. However, other expenses need to be deducted. The Ministry of Finance is postponing Rail Balticu. That's why the state budget is improving, but no additional money is coming.
Michal said that Läänemets is a great guy, but experts calculate the finances. A better position of 800 million does not mean spending. You have to be careful.
Läänemets asked how the finances are in order. He said only 340 million euros are coming in. Michal responded that Läänemets needs basic math. The state budget is better for three reasons: taxes are coming in better, expenses are under control, investments are slowed down.
Läänemets said on Facebook that the Prime Minister's talk does not match reality. He asked where the money for national defense and salary increases will come from.
