15th Riigikogu, 6th sitting, plenary session
The primary targets are the Reform Party, the ruling coalition, and specifically Prime Minister Kaja Kallas and Kristen Michal, who stand accused of directly steering the country toward bankruptcy. The criticism is twofold—both political (focusing on the regressive tax system and rising debt) and ethical, stemming from scandals (specifically the misappropriation of national defense funds). The intensity of the attacks is at its maximum, labeling the government's actions as incompetent and completely detached from reality.

The attacks are intense and range from political failure (lack of funding for healthcare) to personal disqualification (anti-science stance, violation of allied relations). Compromise with the government is ruled out, as the speaker believes that almost all members of the government should face a vote of no confidence.
