15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting
Strong opposition is aimed at the steering committee, which is accused of substantially disregarding the constitution by failing to consider proposals aimed at ensuring 100% reliability. Criticism is also directed at the government, which is considered potentially illegitimate, having gained power through e-votes, and at the Riigikogu board for labeling the obstruction illegal. The attacks are primarily procedural and focus on questions of constitutionality.

The opposition's stance is intense and aimed directly at a member of the government, criticizing the minister's inappropriate conduct, the substance of their responses, and their political choices.

The attacks are both policy-based and personal, often referencing the prior stances of colleagues.
