15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
Sharp opposition is mounted against the government and the coalition, particularly the Social Democrats and the administration led by Kaja Kallas, accusing them of financial chaos and flawed economic and energy policies. The criticism is both policy-based and procedural, accusing the coalition of forcing the opposition to support bills that offer only minimal relief. Compromise is ruled out, although it is acknowledged that the opposition is forced to support the "handing out of crumbs" to avoid attacks from propagandists.

15th Estonian Parliament, 3rd session, information briefing
The confrontation is highly intense and targets both the procedural arbitrariness of the Riigikogu Speaker and the personal conduct and competence of the Prime Minister (Kaja Kallas). The Prime Minister is sharply criticized for "stupidity" and disregarding the rules, with critics asserting that the government is trampling on laws, oversight mechanisms, and international regulations. The criticism is thus procedural, political, and personal.
