15th Riigikogu, 4th sitting, plenary session
The main opponents are the governing coalition, especially the Reform Party, who are criticized for their rigid adherence to dogma and their failure to acknowledge real-life issues. Strong procedural criticism is aimed at the Coalition Council, which overrides Parliament and prevents debates from taking place. The Social Democrats and Eesti 200 are criticized for their passivity and for simply issuing press releases, even as they support decisions that actively worsen people’s lives.

15th Riigikogu, 4th sitting, press briefing
The primary confrontation is aimed directly at the government and the prime minister, sharply criticizing their economic policies and the overall governance of the country. Specific criticism is leveled against implementing tax hikes (dubbed the "tax festival") during an economic downturn, emphasizing that, in the assessment of Lithuanian experts, this constitutes a flawed strategy.

15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary session
The primary criticism is aimed at the Prime Minister's party, which is accused of snatching mandates by lying during the election campaign and thereby distorting the composition of parliament. The previous tax policy is also sharply criticized, as it resulted in hundreds of millions being drained from the state treasury and the underfunding of vital sectors. The criticism is both ethical and political-procedural in nature.
