15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
The primary opposition is aimed at the taxation policy of the government and the Reform Party, as well as their priorities for healthcare funding. Critics argue that taxes alone do not address health risks, and there is a lack of a comprehensive approach (specifically, the absence of supplementary measures to promote school lunches, physical activity, and nutrition). The strong criticism centers on the government using taxes primarily to meet state financing needs rather than to genuinely improve public health.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting
The main object of the opposition campaign is the government's car tax bill; the criticism is policy-driven and tied to popular acceptance. The focus is on the unequal burden, especially for rural areas and the poorer segments of society, and a compromise is sought regarding the taxation of banks' excess profits. The intensity is high, and a compromise or cessation of the conflict has not been explicitly ruled out; it is emphasized that the government is not listening to public opinion.
