15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The main opponents were the Reform Party and the Social Democrats, who were criticized for being unprincipled and for attempting to violate the constitution through half-baked solutions. The tactics of the opponents were particularly fiercely attacked; they attempted to label the party as "Putinists" in order to force them into a compromise. The attacks were intense and included personal accusations regarding their political motives.

15th Riigikogu, 5th sitting, press briefing
The primary adversary is the Reform Party and the ruling coalition, who face criticism regarding both their policies (taxes, immigration) and their personnel choices (ministers with a Moscow background or those deemed "Estonian-minded"). The criticism is intense, leveling accusations of corruption and the destruction of the nation-state against the government. The government's legitimacy is being called into question due to its low support (18–19%), leading to demands for snap elections.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The main opponent is the Reform Party government and its ministers (e.g., "Kristen"), who face sharp criticism on both policy (tax hikes, immigration) and ideological grounds. The criticism is intense, accusing the government of dismantling the security levy and promoting Russification, which precludes any compromise.

15th Riigikogu, 5th sitting, plenary session
The confrontation is extremely intense and is aimed primarily at Kaja Kallas and the "government of liberals" (for establishing totalitarianism) as well as Tanel Kiik (for citing authority). Strong criticism is leveled against the "medical mafia" and vaccine manufacturers (Pfizer, Moderna) for lying and generating massive profits. Compromise is ruled out; the punishment of the guilty parties is demanded to prevent recurrence.

The 15th Riigikogu, fifth sitting, information briefing.
The main opponent is the ruling coalition and its "corrupt Estonian clique," who stand accused of dishonesty, a lack of statesmanship, and foreign policy bankruptcy. The criticism is intense, encompassing both political decisions (tax hikes, mineral resources) and personal attacks (lying, scheming, and shady dealings). The resistance is absolute, asserting that the government's current policy line is bankrupt.
