15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary session
The opposition's stance is extremely harsh, directed against the governing coalition (Reform Party, Estonia 200, Social Democrats) and specific committee members (Igor Taro, Mait Klaassen, Hanah Lahe). The criticism is primarily procedural and personal, accusing them of expelling a representative of the people, suppressing the issue, and disregarding the conscience clause stipulated in the Riigikogu Member Status Act. They accuse the government of making a political decision not to support any opposition bill.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary session
The primary criticism is aimed at the government and the Speaker of the Riigikogu (Estonian Parliament), accusing them of selectively applying the law and violating procedural rules. The government is criticized for failing to carry out mandatory post-impact assessments of the law regarding draft legislation, even though regulations require them. The criticism is intense and focuses on both policy (taxes) and procedural (lawmaking, breach of order) aspects.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary session
Strong opposition is directed at major pharmaceutical corporations (Pfizer, Moderna) and international health organizations (WHO, EMA, CDC, FDA), who are accused of greed and the abuse of public health interests. The criticism extends to Estonian state officials and the government, who allegedly violated the law and participated in illegal human experiments. Compromise is ruled out, as this constitutes criminal activity that endangers public health.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting
The main opponents are Kaja Kallas’s government, Kaja Kallas herself, and Finance Minister Mart Võrklaev. The criticism is extremely intense and non-political, accusing the government of pursuing anti-people policies and establishing a Stalinist regime. The opposition is absolute, calling on the public to overthrow the government, thereby signaling that compromise is completely ruled out.
2024-01-17
15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary session
The main targets of criticism are the governing coalition (the Reform Party, Estonia 200, and the Social Democrats) and their fiscal policy, which has been labeled "anti-people." The criticism is directed both at the substance of the policy (tax increases) and at procedural violations (the rapid processing of draft legislation and the lack of analysis). Separately, criticism is leveled at Annely Akkermann, the representative of the Finance Committee, and the Minister of Finance, Mart Võrklaev.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting

The criticism is policy- and procedure-based, calling for specific sanctions against the prosecutor who violated the law.
2024-01-15
15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary session.
The main opponent is Kaja Kallas and her government, who are being criticized for both incompetence (in defense matters) and unethical behavior (lying with factual claims in the Riigikogu). The criticism is intense and demands sanctions against government members, even referencing the possibility of taking legal action. The opposition also extends to former ministers (Taavi Aas, Keit Pentus-Rosimannus) and leaders of the Defense Forces for outdated concepts.
2024-01-11
15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting
The primary conflict is with the coalition, which is being criticized for the political rejection of draft legislation—a move that threatens to send the bill to the "trash heap." The Ministry is also under fire for ostensibly restricting the right of initiative of Members of Parliament, using the justification that the work is already underway. The criticism is directed at the methodology and procedures, not the individuals, and demands consensus across political lines.
2024-01-10
15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary session
The opposition is directed at the chairing of the session and the rapporteur, sharply criticizing the disregard for the rules of procedure and the fast-track processing of the draft legislation. They also object to the supremacy of European Union directives over national tax policy, citing the distortion of the context of the accession treaties. The criticism is primarily procedural and political.
2024-01-10
15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, information briefing
The main opponent is Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, who is criticized for the rigidity of the budget and for dismissing strikes as pointless, allegedly being "stuck in an Excel spreadsheet." The criticism is intense and includes both a political dimension (the budget) and a personal/ideological one (the "general's epaulets of the globalists").
2024-01-08
15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary session.
Strong criticism has been leveled against the mainstream media, who are accused of suppressing events in Germany and displaying bias. The intensity of the criticism is high, employing historically charged and negative comparisons to describe the media's silence.
