The 15th Riigikogu, 6th Session, Information Hour
Political Position
The political position is fiercely oppositional, accusing the government (Kristen Michal and Ligi) of dragging Estonia into the "mud league" and completely destroying public trust. They are issuing a call for a new, genuine prime minister who possesses a long-term plan to rescue the country from the current state of "mad chaos." The focus remains on the government's failed performance and moral legitimacy, which amounts to intensely results-driven criticism.
