By Plenary Sessions: Leo Kunnas

The criticism is aimed at the actions taken by the government or the responsible minister concerning the delay in implementing the requirement for constructing civil defense shelters. The objection is rooted in policy and procedure, centering on the inherent riskiness of the decision within the context of national security.

The criticism focuses on the failure of the Ottawa Convention's original objectives, arguing that it resulted in the widespread use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) instead of leading to the elimination of landmines. The speaker dismisses counterarguments that rely on examples of uncontrolled mine-laying in Cambodia or other Asian countries, emphasizing that Estonia faces no threat of guerrilla insurgency.

There is insufficient data regarding opposition or criticism directed at specific opponents, because only an informational question was submitted to the minister.
