The main opponents are Isamaa (especially Urmas Reinsalu) and EKRE (especially Rain Epler), who are sharply criticized for distorting facts, engaging in populism, and spreading energy-related "mumbo-jumbo." Reinsalu has repeatedly been accused of "mental inflation" of figures and lying, particularly regarding energy cost forecasts. He forcefully rejects EKRE's claims about the danger of infrasound and the rhetoric of Russia-sympathy (lamenting the loss of the BRELL system).

The main opponents are EKRE and Isamaa, who face criticism for obstruction (such as the 238 amendments filed against the renewable energy bill) and for casting doubt on the security of e-voting. Criticism is also aimed at the income tax 'hump' (tulumaksuküür) introduced by Isamaa, which, according to the speaker, harms average wage earners (teachers, rescuers). The speaker also criticizes opponents for presenting inaccurate facts, particularly concerning e-voting technology and economic data.
