The criticism is aimed at the political expediency and the market effects of the bill, rather than being directed at a personal level. Furthermore, Marek Reinaas’s question to the Center Party regarding the withdrawal of the draft bill was referenced.

Taking a strong stance against Urmas Reinsalu (Isamaa) and Rain Epler (EKRE), accusing them of persistent lying, number manipulation, and utilizing unreliable information sources (such as Hando Sutter).

This criticism is largely fact-based, accusing the opposition of deliberate deception and exploiting public ignorance for fear-mongering. The speaker also called out EKRE for its perceived pro-Russian leanings (specifically, lamenting the loss of the BRELL system and referencing Russian nuclear technology).
