Fifteenth Riigikogu, Fifth Session, Plenary Session.
The primary criticism is aimed at the government and specifically the actions of Social Affairs Minister Karmen Joller, who has ceased holding regular meetings with the Chamber of Persons with Disabilities. The Prime Minister is also under fire for pinning the blame for the SKAIS system failures on the head of the Social Insurance Board, a matter that is fundamentally a higher-level responsibility. The criticism is intense, centering on political accountability and inadequate funding.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The main opposition is directed at the government's financial policy, particularly the entrenchment of tax increases, which prevents people from making ends meet. The criticism is policy-based, calling into question the government's assertion that the nation's success automatically benefits the people.

15th Riigikogu, Fifth Session, Plenary Session.
The speaker is clearly taking an opposition role, criticizing the government for short-sighted policies regarding forestry and labor inclusion. The criticism targets political failure and a lack of accountability, especially in connection with the infringement procedure that has been initiated. The opposition is policy- and procedure-based, not personal.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
While direct opposition is not voiced, indirect criticism is leveled against the government concerning its inaction or its priority setting. The core of the criticism is that the government has failed to grant vocational education sufficient prestige, notably by allowing a high-profile event (Noor Meister) to go unvisited by state leaders, which contrasts sharply with the practice in Finland.

15th Riigikogu, 5th sitting, plenary session
The criticism is directed at the inaction of the Minister of Social Affairs and the government, particularly regarding the shortage of places in special welfare services, inadequate funding, and the looming threat of budget cuts. The chronic operational problems plaguing the social insurance information system are also under fire, requiring a substantial investment of 25 million euros. This critique is grounded in policy and performance, underscoring the vital need to champion this sector.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The opposition is aimed at the Center Party counterparts, who are being criticized for twice failing to meet the deadlines for handling draft legislation. The criticism is intense and strictly focuses on procedural inaccuracy, rather than the political content.

15th Riigikogu, 5th sitting, information briefing
The criticism is directed at the poor performance and systemic failures within the state's social protection information systems (managed by the Social Insurance Board), issues that are forcing employees to work overtime. The Prime Minister is being called upon to solve the problem via the budget. The critique is not a direct attack on specific individuals, but rather on the state's overall administrative capacity.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The criticism is primarily leveled against the government and administrative agencies (SKA) for their inaction and inefficiency, particularly regarding their failure to control the skyrocketing costs of care services and their neglect of critical IT infrastructure improvements. Other political parties are also being criticized for "gloating" over the failed reform instead of concentrating on finding actual solutions.
