Opposition Stance
The main criticism is directed at the Isamaa Party, whose opposition is considered inappropriate, as the issues they have highlighted should be resolved at the ministerial level, not through the draft legislation. The Social Democrats are being urged to vote in favor of the bill so that they might value the work of their own former minister, which suggests a slight degree of procedural pressure.
