By Plenary Sessions: Diana Ingerainen

The primary criticism is aimed at the proponents of the proposed VAT reduction, whose solution is labeled as expensive, inefficient, and unjust. The criticism is political in nature, calling into question the measure's economic and social impact because it disproportionately benefits those who are already doing well. Furthermore, claims that lowering the VAT would aid Estonian producers or improve the public's diet are also being rejected.

Direct opponents are not criticized, but indirect criticism is leveled against previous "missteps" in the healthcare sector—specifically those where infrastructure investments and wages failed to guarantee accessibility. The speaker also acknowledges the existence of political "power fluctuations," but refuses to let them divert their focus from the social sphere.

The opposition is directed at a specific draft bill, the rejection of which was recommended by the commission's majority. The criticism is both procedural and political, as the speaker is conveying the voting results, which show a clear division (5 in favor of rejection, 2 against).
