15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The main opponents are the proponents of the bill (including former Interior Minister Lauri Läänemets and the Social Democrats), who are accused of mendacity, intolerance, and disregard for the principles of the rule of law. The criticism is intense and fundamental, claiming that the bill does not reduce but rather increases security threats. The speaker urges people not to comply with the state's unjust directives.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The primary criticism is aimed at the coalition and colleague Anti Allas, accusing them of having forgotten about compensating reservists for eight years and conceptually rejecting the draft bill without basis. The speaker sharply criticizes the government's priorities, highlighting the annual salary increase for Riigikogu members as an irony. The criticism is intense and addresses both political priorities and procedural matters.

Fifteenth Riigikogu, fifth sitting, plenary session
The main adversaries are the governing coalition, especially Eesti 200 (who are accused of disregarding democratic ideals and lacking a mandate) and the Social Democrats (whose members head the ERJK). Criticism is aimed both at policy (tax hikes, family policy) and procedures (the absence of constitutional analysis). The ERJK is characterized as a politically biased body, where "complete control is entirely in their hands," and compromise regarding the draft bill is ruled out.

The criticism is intense, describing the government's actions regarding pressure to vaccinate children as a "brutal outrage" and accusing the media and the courts of providing cover for the government. There is no willingness to compromise, as demands are being made for an immediate investigation and accountability.
