By Plenary Sessions: Raimond Kaljulaid

The main targets are the tax policies of the current government (the Reform Party and Eesti 200), which are being criticized for favoring the wealthy. Strong criticism is also directed at the Centre Party, which is accused of both making the decision to cut the rescue squad budget in 2021 and engaging in irresponsible fiscal populism. The criticism is predominantly policy-based (focusing on the budget and taxes) and is particularly intense when aimed at the Centre Party.

No direct confrontation is voiced, but the speaker addresses economic objections raised by players in the construction and real estate development sector. The criticism is mildly aimed, hoping the business community understands the security risks and necessary changes. A justifiably raised question regarding the speed of processing the draft bill is also answered.

The main criticism is directed at the Minister of Defence (Hanno Pevkur) and the Ministry of Defence, accusing them of delay, incompetence, and avoidance of responsibility. The criticism is both procedural (delay in implementing acts) and political (lowering the language requirements for the head of RKIK), suggesting the possibility that favorable conditions are being created for a specific candidate. Shifting responsibility onto the Government Office is being called a "very strange approach."

There is no direct confrontation or criticism of opponents, but the speaker is skeptical about the economic outcome of the initiative. The criticism is directed at the substance of the policy, not at individuals or procedures.

The main opponent is the government coalition (the Reform Party and Estonia 200) and Minister of Defense Hanno Pevkur, whose resignation is being demanded in order to restore confidence in the defense sector. Criticism is aimed both at procedural shortcomings (the minister leaving the chamber) and at substantive financial management and political pressure. Earlier Reform Party politicians (Jürgen Ligi) are also being criticized for opposing the 5% defense spending target.

The criticism is aimed at those who present emotional assessments regarding regional development instead of concrete figures. He/She is also skeptical of economic circles that promote immigration using the labor shortage argument, while ignoring its long-term socio-economic cost.

The main opponents are the governing coalition and specific ministers (the Minister of Defense), who are being criticized for management failures, delays, and systemic irregularities in the use of funds. The criticism is intense and focuses on political accountability, also accusing the coalition of attempting to "cover up" serious suspicions of legal wrongdoing.
