The criticism is intense and accuses the government of carelessness, which erodes public trust. There is no sign of a willingness to compromise; instead, they are demanding the unconditional fulfillment of those promises.

15th Estonian Parliament, 3rd sitting, plenary session
The criticism is aimed at the current executive power and previous governments, who failed to adapt the border guard structure to the changed threat level. Specific criticism is leveled against the prioritization of the green transition over security, and an earlier decision to merge the border guard, which was based on the false premise of a partnership with Russia. The critique is policy- and procedure-based, highlighting a distinct lack of accountability.
