By Plenary Sessions: Madis Kallas

There is no direct opposition; criticism is directed at the fragmentation of the existing system, which is deemed ineffective and prevents better decision-making. The speaker stresses that fragmented information and services also bring about a fragmented future vision that the state must overcome.

The stance is directed at those who doubt the reliability or capacity of local authorities to exercise autonomy responsibly—a claim the speaker categorically refuted. Furthermore, there is an indirect criticism of decisions being made "from here on Toompea," far removed from local circumstances, which restricts the decision-making freedom of local governments.

Dissent is only indicated by the voting results, where one committee member voted against several decisions. The speaker does not criticize opponents or their viewpoints, but focuses on the decisions adopted by consensus and the substance of the discussion.

There is a complete absence of criticism or confrontation; the address is aimed at constructive dialogue and the further development of the topic.
