By Plenary Sessions: Ester Karuse

The primary opposition is directed at the minister and the government’s internal security policy, particularly the plan to bring Swedish prisoners to Estonia. The criticism is policy-driven, focusing on the plan’s unfeasibility and its negative impact on current policing efforts and public safety. The opposition is intense, as the minister’s claims regarding improved security are being called into question.

The main adversary is the governing coalition, which is sharply criticized for its unfair tax policy, the deliberate expansion of the deficit, and its failure to support vulnerable groups. The criticism is political and ideological, accusing the government of coddling the wealthy and pursuing irresponsible fiscal management. The opposition to this specific budget is intense and uncompromising.

The criticism targets the efficiency of state institutions (the court system, the Competition Authority) and the lack of transparency surrounding the government's budget cuts. The criticism is policy- and procedure-based, calling for improved tools and specific information regarding the scale of the required reductions.
