15th Estonian Parliament, 5th session, plenary session
The speaker sharply criticizes the Social Democrats for their aggressive behavior during the debate on the Competition Act and, conversely, for their absence from the discussion regarding the far more crucial RAB Act. He attacks the government's "party faction" (singling out Kristen Michal as "Big Brother") for exhibiting totalitarian tendencies, claiming they are rushing legislation through because of their low public support. Furthermore, he slams Delfi and Eesti Ekspress, calling them mere fulfillers of political orders, which, in his view, is turning Estonia into a "banana republic."
