15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting
The primary adversaries are the governing coalition (dubbed the "liberal regime"), the Riigikogu (Parliament) Board, and its committees, all of whom are accused of systematically violating rules and stripping the opposition of its rights. The criticism is primarily procedural and systemic, arguing that the coalition no longer feels obligated to consider the opposition or seek compromises. Furthermore, the speaker accuses "liberal activists" within the Supreme Court of providing political cover for these legal violations.

The criticism is predominantly value-based and personal, calling into question the moral and democratic legitimacy of the opponents.
