XV Riigikogu, V Session, Plenary Sitting
Opponents are being sharply criticized for opposing the draft bill, with accusers claiming they are protecting a monopoly and dramatically overstating the severity of the situation (calling it "a great crime against the Estonian people").

2025-06-11
15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The criticism is aimed at those who grant the status of ultimate truth to the assessments made by the President of the Republic of Estonia, and also at those who argue that severing ties with the Moscow Patriarchate infringes upon religious freedom.

2025-06-10
15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting.
The criticism is directed at two target groups: individuals who knowingly spread falsehoods to defame the judicial system, and the courts themselves.

2025-06-04

2025-06-03
Fifteenth Riigikogu, fifth session, plenary session
The criticism is aimed primarily at procedural shortcomings and market inefficiencies, rather than at the minister personally.

2025-05-14
15th Riigikogu, 5th sitting, plenary session
Direct criticism is aimed at the imprecise and ambiguous wording of the law, which led to the President of the Republic’s objection and veto. The criticism is political in nature and focuses on legal clarity and the threat of restricting freedoms. The objection is being treated as a problem requiring resolution, not as an attack, and compromise is clearly the preferred option.
2025-04-23

2025-04-09
15th Estonian Parliament, 5th session, plenary session
The main adversary is the Moscow Patriarchate and its leadership, who are accused of being tools of a hostile state's special agents and of blessing the aggression.

The opposition is on a political and security-based level, not personal.
2025-03-26
15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session

2025-03-25
15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session

2025-02-25
15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session

2025-02-11
15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting

15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary sitting
The criticism targets two specific colleagues (Lauri Laats and Aivar Kokk) concerning a repeated grammatical error in their use of the word "eelnõu" (draft bill). The opposition is procedural and linguistic, rather than politically substantive.
2024-12-17

15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary session
The criticism is directed at the presenter's improper use of language, specifically the incorrect partitive case form of the word "eelnõu" (draft/bill), which was rendered as "seda eelnõud." This is procedural and linguistic criticism that does not address the content of the bill itself.
2024-12-04
15th Estonian Parliament, 4th session, plenary sitting

2024-10-14
15th Estonian Parliament, 4th session, plenary sitting

2024-09-25
15th Riigikogu, 4th sitting, plenary session
Criticism is aimed at the planners of the public transport reform, who stand accused of blindly implementing a foreign model while completely disregarding the existing system. The opposition is rooted in policy and procedure, stressing that the reform is based solely on the experience of the poorly functioning public transport in Tallinn and Harju County, rather than a wider regional analysis. The exclusion of passenger satisfaction from the reform's objectives is viewed as an alarming mistake.

Fifteenth Riigikogu, fourth session, plenary session
