The Social Democrats are not offering an alternative to the current coalition in the elections. They want to offer an alternative to all of Estonia. The Reform Party's trust is currently low, and they do not see how they could improve it.
Läänemets said that the main question is whether the next prime minister will come from the Social Democrats or Isamaa. Other parties are not in this competition.
He spoke about this being an important choice for Estonia. The question is not just between parties, but also between values. Do we support people's rights or not? Do we choose fossil fuels or clean energy?
Läänemets criticized Isamaa. He said that Isamaa simply wants to roll back old laws. But they do not talk about how they would help Estonia's economy.
He added that Estonia's leadership is rigid. Old methods no longer work. For example, reducing VAT on food would help people. The fuel excise duty should also be temporarily reduced to support the economy.
If the Social Democrats become the prime ministerial party, the Reform Party could be in their government. Läänemets said their values are similar. But he cannot imagine cooperating with EKRE.
Läänemets also talked about economic issues. He said that it is important to be pragmatic now. During a crisis, differences in worldviews are not the focus. It is important to find solutions together.
