Strong opposition rhetoric directed at the government: criticism of tax policy, energy scenarios, and lack of transparency. It demands snap elections and sometimes suggests bypassing the public mandate. Arguments frequently criticize the lack of pacts and compromises, along with "green energy" and projects aimed at major powers. The government is portrayed as a credible threat to democracy and the economy, and is accused of lacking accountability and transparency, and harming consumers.

The core conflict revolves around the coalition's proposed tax changes and its energy and infrastructure policy. Opponents are highly critical of the government's overall tax burden (especially consumption taxes and VAT), stressing that a bank tax would be a much fairer and more sensible solution. They accuse the government of rushing decisions, failing to ensure adequate debate and transparency, and are actively trying to highlight regional and demographic vulnerabilities. While some criticisms are personal (targeting the ministry's operations, communication, and leadership), the main focus remains on the policy itself and its effect on people's lives.
