The criticism focuses on the moral and social consequences of these policies.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
The main opponents are the government and the Reform Party, who face criticism both for their political priorities (demographics, the funding of abortions) and for previous inappropriate conduct in the Riigikogu chamber.

The criticism is intense and uncompromising, categorically rejecting the arguments put forth by the opposing side.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting
The primary adversaries are the Coalition, the Board of the Riigikogu, and the Electoral Service, all of whom are accused of violating laws and engaging in arbitrary action. The criticism is intense, focusing mainly on procedural and legal issues, specifically the delegation of authority and the alleged bias of the Electoral Service staff (their acceptability to the Reform Party leadership). The opposition is absolute, given that the speaker asserts the e-voting system has resulted in the formation of illegitimate governments.

Fifteenth Riigikogu, third session, plenary session
The main opponents are the Ministry of Climate, the Reform Party, and the government, all of whom are accused of engaging in the destruction of the state and concocting corrupt schemes. Criticism is intense, ranging from accusations of political incompetence (in areas like road construction and energy) to personal attacks and the violation of democratic norms (including electoral fraud and the corrupt formation of the city government). As a result of the alleged electoral fraud, the government is viewed as abnormal and illegitimate, which precludes any possibility of substantive cooperation.

The main confrontation is directed at the governing coalition, who are accused of hypocrisy, waffling, and applying double standards. The criticism also extends to the Riigikogu Board for making unlawful decisions, as well as to the Supreme Court and the Chancellor of Justice, all of whom are seen as promoting double standards. The opponents are also charged with political opportunism and changing their views ('having jumped ship from one party to another').

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
The standoff is aimed directly at the current coalition and their actions during the election of the Riigikogu board. The criticism is intense and procedural, accusing the ruling power of moving towards authoritarianism and creating a controlled opposition through the election of Jüri Ratas. This criticism is fundamental and leaves no room for compromise.
2024-04-03
15th Estonian Parliament, 3rd sitting, plenary session

2024-04-03
15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, information briefing
The main opponent is the Reform Party and Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, who is accused of demagoguery, inconsistency on issues, and representing a "puppet government." The criticism is intense, personal, and questions political will, claiming that the government has not received directives from its "masters." The opponents are also accused of giving away the property of the Estonian people without authorization.
2024-04-01
15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
The main adversaries are Kaja Kallas, Lauri Läänemets, and the coalition led by the Reform Party. The criticism is intense and ranges from policy issues (mass immigration) to personal attacks (incompetence, diction, wearing red rags). Compromise is ruled out because, in the speaker's estimation, the government has trampled on the constitution and the laws, which is why "normality" will not be restored in the Riigikogu.
