15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
Criticism is aimed at the current local government election procedure, which permits non-citizens to vote, describing this as a dilution of accountability. The intensity of the opposition is high because this policy is viewed as a dangerous myth that has created unresolved conflicts, particularly in Tallinn. There is also resistance to the decisions made by the Constitutional Assembly in good faith, which have not proven their worth today.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary meeting
The main confrontation is directed against the ruling coalition, who are criticized for ignoring the work of a democratic institution. Separately, the Social Democratic Party and Tanel Kiik are criticized, accused of demagoguery and putting words in people's mouths. The criticism is intense and touches upon both policy (suffrage, e-elections) and ethical behavior at the local level ("food chains").

The criticism is procedural, alleging that the government’s actions in replacing the State Secretary and the Permanent Secretaries were neither transparent nor honest. The intensity of the attack is moderate, but the substance is fundamentally accusatory.
