By Plenary Sessions: Helmen Kütt

The main criticism is directed at the government's inaction and indecisiveness, which has led to the pig farming crisis and the persistence of this long-term problem. The criticism is policy-based and intense, demanding explanations from the minister regarding what could have been done differently.

The criticism is aimed at the government's actions and procedures, and is primarily procedural and policy-based. The Prime Minister is criticized for avoiding cross-party consultation, which is unacceptable when making key decisions. Furthermore, the Ministry of the Interior's administrative area is criticized for insufficient transparency when handling data requests, which generates public insecurity and suspicion.

The opposition is directed at earlier policies or advertisements that recommended against holding cash, and people are welcoming the change in that position. Furthermore, there is resistance to potential government plans to raise income tax or VAT (Value-Added Tax), particularly in the context of rising food prices.

The criticism is not aimed at political opponents, but rather at individual administrative errors in the social sector, which are referred to as "isolated incidents." It is emphasized that officials are generally willing to review these errors, which reduces the intensity of the criticism and rules out direct confrontation.

Criticism is directed at the Minister of Social Affairs, who, in the speaker's assessment, has not focused sufficiently on social issues or has avoided the topic in their replies. The opposition is rooted in policy and procedural concerns, demanding clarification of the Minister's action plan.

The opposition is aimed at the government's inaction or inefficiency regarding regional policy, expressing the fear that subsequent steps will lead to the closure of services in rural areas. The criticism is policy- and results-based, demanding that the minister present a clear outline of budget priorities.

The main criticism is directed at the Government of the Republic and Minister of Social Affairs Karmen Joller. The government is criticized for its inaction (missing the opportunity for a supplementary budget) and for neglecting state obligations in special welfare, thereby shifting the burden onto local governments and families. The government’s labeling of the budget as a "prosperity budget" is viewed as an election campaign at a time when those in need are protesting.
