15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary sitting
He criticizes the opposition's assertion that tax increases are stifling economic growth, offering the counterargument that state subsidies and money injected into the economy through borrowing are 2.5 times greater than the amount collected via taxes. He also criticizes the then-government of 2018–2019 for depleting reserves during a period of strong economic performance. The criticism is primarily policy-focused, not personal.

The attitude is rather neutral and professional than confrontational.
