02.2025
11 Speeches
The opposition's stance is aimed squarely at the Center Party (Keskerakond) and Andrei Korobeinik, criticizing their political instability and failure to deliver on their election platform. The opposition is further accused of relying on mere political rhetoric and submitting draft bills that are easily generated (possibly using AI) and lack any genuine support. This behavior is contrasted sharply with the necessary statesmanship and compromise required of the governing coalition.
