Fifteenth Riigikogu, Fifth Session, Plenary Session.
A strong opposition faces the government and the Reform Party, who are accused of controlling the e-voting mechanism and thereby wielding unlimited power. The criticism is directed at a personal level, specifically accusing Kaja Kallas of lying about taxes and advancing her personal career (in the European Commission) at the expense of the suffering of the Estonian people. The government is also accused of being incapable of governing the country and of just talking "fluff" (or empty rhetoric).

15th Riigikogu, Fifth Session, Plenary Session.
The main criticism is directed at the Prime Minister and the Reform Party-led government, who are accused of steamrolling the people, violating constitutional rights, and destroying the nation's economy. The criticism is both policy-based (economy, immigration) and procedural (the establishment of Nursipalu, and ramming through wind farm projects). The intensity of the attacks is very high, escalating to accusations that the government’s actions are “the most genuine joy for Putin.”

There is no willingness to compromise; the focus is solely on exposing the actions and motives of the opponents.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The main criticism is directed at the Minister, who is held responsible for strongly backing the candidate for Prosecutor General (Astrid Asi). The opposition stems from the fear that this selection could lead to political trials and restrictions on free speech, which is essentially a political attack against the direction of the government's criminal policy.
