By Plenary Sessions: Aivar Kokk

The criticism is directed at the draft bill’s shortcomings and lack of clarity, particularly regarding the technical requirements and the regulation of access for other operators. The opposition is both procedural and policy-based, questioning whether the committee addressed the problems that arose during the first reading. There is strong objection to solutions that create inefficient or overly expensive usage models, citing the Swedish example.

The main criticism is directed at the government and the Ministry of Finance for the inadequacy and lack of transparency in budget preparation. The criticism is both procedural and substantive, accusing officials and ministers of having revenue forecasts that are uncertain and insufficiently detailed. The intensity of the criticism is high, pointing to a fundamental flaw in the principles of budget preparation.

The main criticism is aimed at the European Union’s regulations and the procedure for their adoption, which are deemed unreasonable and overly detailed. The lack of clarity in the draft law is also being criticized, along with the potential negative economic consequences that could deter advertising firms from servicing political campaigns. The speaker calls for protests against these foolish regulations and, if necessary, taking the matter to the European Court of Justice.

The primary criticism is aimed at the government and the Minister of Finance, accusing them of opaque allocation of funds and incompetence in managing large sums. It sharply criticizes the political credibility of the coalition, referencing previous promises and the subsequent cancellation of tax increases within the framework of the State Budget Strategy (RES). It challenges the minister's right to amend budget items without the approval of the Riigikogu (Parliament), citing the salary increase for the chairman of the Social Democrats in 2023 as a specific example.

The main opponents are the ruling coalition, specifically the Reform Party, Kaja Kallas, and the Social Democrats. The criticism targets the government's poor economic decisions (energy prices, tax hikes) and inadequate social policy (specifically, the reduction of benefits for large families). The Social Democrats face fierce criticism for eliminating support for large families and backing the proposed motor vehicle tax. Compromise is off the table, as the proposal is to reject the budget in its entirety.

The main opponent is the Reform Party, which faces sharp criticism regarding its budget policy and its delivery on promises. The criticism is policy-driven, centering on the irresponsible management of state finances and excessive borrowing. The confrontation is intense, with references being made to "the largest debt burden of all time."

The main opponents are the parties of the ruling coalition (the Reform Party, Estonia 200, and the Social Democrats), who are accused of imposing taxes and drafting flawed legislation. Criticism targets both the policy itself (tax increases) and individual accountability (specifically naming Jevgeni Ossinovski, Anti Allas, and Priit Lomp for their role in the negotiations). Compromise has been ruled out, with demands for the complete repeal of the tax.
