By Months: Kalle Laanet

The main criticism is directed against the Prosecutor’s Office and its leadership, accusing them of using unfair and overly costly criminal proceedings to resolve human errors. The criticism is systemic and procedural, emphasizing that restoring the sense of justice within state authorities should not be achieved solely through criminal cases. The speaker also points to the possibility that the issue was only raised after they dared to publicly criticize the leadership of the prosecutor’s office.

The criticism is primarily aimed at foreign countries attempting to misuse Estonian systems (agents, fraudsters), as well as the risks associated with money laundering and terrorist financing. Anti Poolamets criticized the e-residency program as a "black hole" that exposes Estonia to international scrutiny, citing a Council of Europe report. The criticism is political and security-driven, calling for tougher measures.

The opposition is focused on the government’s actions in managing the Nordica case, especially the Prime Minister’s vague response, which Laats calls "waffling." The procedural opposition is aimed at blocking the formation of an investigative committee, as Laanet and Terras fear it will interfere with or duplicate the work of law enforcement agencies.

Rather than criticizing opponents, the speaker highlights that even the opposition has commended the draft bill in question during their questioning. This indicates that the security matter enjoys consensus, and there is an absence of criticism.

The speaker objects to the opposition's desire to establish an investigative commission, deeming it duplicative and suspecting that the true goal might be greater visibility. He criticizes the opposition for not utilizing more effective legal mechanisms, emphasizing that if there are indications of criminal offenses, they should approach law enforcement agencies directly. The criticism is primarily procedural and aimed at efficiency.

There is no direct criticism aimed at political opponents. The criticism is directed at systemic and procedural shortcomings, such as slow procedural rules, the occasional inability of judges to manage proceedings, and the lack of clarity in legislation, which allows for "legal acrobatics."

The criticism is aimed at financial institutions (banks) that refuse to provide reasons for their decisions, which the speaker believes is upsetting to people and is simply unacceptable. Specific political adversaries are not being criticized; rather, the focus is on institutional lack of transparency.
