XV Riigikogu, VI Session, Plenary Sitting
The main confrontation is aimed at the Reform Party-led government and the Prime Minister, who are being accused of incompetence (specifically regarding drone detection) and of falsely accusing political opponents (EKRE). Particularly sharp criticism is directed at Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna, who allegedly overstepped his authority by providing international assurances regarding the deployment of the Defense Forces. The criticism is both procedural and substantive, demanding clear accountability from the government.

XV Riigikogu, VI Session, Plenary Sitting
The confrontation is aimed at the government's policies (the green transition, finance) and the general political mentality that demands going along with the changes. The Center Party is being criticized for potentially putting on a "show" of their positions, while demands are being made for a clear and binding confirmation regarding the termination of e-elections. The criticism is policy- and procedure-based, not personal.

The critique is primarily political and procedural, highlighting the government’s low public approval (12–13%) and its failure to acknowledge mistakes (the car tax).

The 15th Riigikogu, 6th Session, Plenary Sitting
The confrontation is aimed at the government, which is defending the project, and the chairman of the session (Toomas Kivimägi), who is being directly criticized for spreading misinformation. The criticism is intense, focusing on deficiencies in both policy (internal security) and procedure (the concealment of classified information). Jürgen Ligi is singled out for criticism because he casually mentioned the existence of secret threat assessments during the Legal Affairs Committee meeting.
