18 Speeches
The main opponents are the ruling coalition, and specifically the Reform Party, which is directly accused of corruption, money laundering, and pedophile ring cover-ups. The criticism is political (excise duties, aid to Ukraine), procedural (unequal treatment, inadequate analysis), and personal (accusing Jürgen Ligi of Putinism). Compromise is ruled out because the coalition is considered dishonest and irresponsible.

The speaker is an implacable foe of the coalition, reserving particular criticism for the Reform Party (Kristen Michal). His critique targets both political decisions—such as the destruction of the energy sector and the lack of budget transparency—and procedural violations, specifically the disregard for proposed amendments, which he labels "willful misconduct." He accuses his opponents of working in the interests of the Kremlin and threatens them with future criminal liability for their legal transgressions.
