15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary session
The main opponents are the Reform Party and representatives of the government, including Kristen Michal and Minister Võrklaev. The criticism is intense and focuses both on political failure ("bungling management") and ethical dishonesty (lying and the use of security rhetoric). Compromise is ruled out, as the speaker calls for a vote against the draft bill.

Fifteenth Riigikogu, Fourth session, press briefing.
The main opposition is directed at the minister, who does not deem it necessary to comment on a crucial security issue, and at the government's concealment of information. Criticism is also aimed at a broader ethical problem: high-ranking government officials and former military personnel taking positions in defense industry companies linked to public funding.

15th Estonian Parliament, 4th session, plenary sitting
The main opponents are the sitting government, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Social Affairs, and the National Defence Committee. The criticism is intense, accusing the opponents of violating the constitution, merely going through the motions, and repeated stupidity ("stepping on the same rake for the third time"). Compromise with the government is ruled out, as they are regarded as "crazy, stupid, and blockheads."

15th Riigikogu, 4th sitting, press briefing
The primary opponent is the government, specifically the Reform Party and the Minister of Finance, who acts as the representative for Eesti Energia's owner. The criticism is intense and politically motivated, accusing them of dismantling the oil shale energy sector, distorting the market, and driving Eesti Energia toward bankruptcy. They are not expressing any readiness for compromise; instead, they are demanding a change in the government's policies.

15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary sitting
The opposition is primarily aimed at the Reform Party and the Social Democrats, who are being accused of lying, humiliating parliament, and aiding pedophiles through the child protection law. The criticism is both political (concerning economic policy) and personal/moral (demanding answers from Jürgen Ligi and criticizing his attire). Compromise has been ruled out, with the opposition demanding the rejection of the proposed bills.
