Fifteenth Riigikogu, sixth sitting, plenary sitting.
The main adversary is the coalition led by the Reform Party, which stands accused of wrecking the economy and mismanaging the state. The criticism is intense, ranging from policy decisions (RB, energy sector) to personal accusations (including the 'usurper' prime minister and 'stone-faced' MPs). The possibility of compromise is not foreseen, as the speaker anticipates a desperate counter-vote from the coalition.

15th Riigikogu, 6th sitting, press briefing
The main adversaries are the government (dubbed the "crisis government"), specifically Kristen Michal and the Prime Minister. The criticism is intense, accusing them of incompetence, lying to the public, and concealing documents from a constitutional institution (the National Audit Office). Compromise is ruled out, and we demand the immediate resignation of all responsible individuals, as they are collectively accountable for the failure of national defense.

The criticism is predominantly procedural, accusing the leaders of arbitrary action and avoiding responsibility, and political, labeling the coalition's actions as the crippling of democracy and authoritarian. The attacks are intense, demanding the annulment of decisions made by the coalition.
