The opposing side is primarily criticized for failing to answer the questions raised in the inquiry (especially concerning social programs) and for misrepresenting the views of a colleague (Martin Helme).

Strong criticism has been leveled against the government and the coalition, who are accused of ignoring the views of the 40% of people who distrust e-voting and of imposing an insecure system. Criticism is also aimed at the Constitutional Committee's subjective decision to bundle the proposed amendments together and at the pressuring of the Republic Electoral Committee to address the verification of insecure elections.

Fifteenth Riigikogu, third session, plenary session
The confrontation is aimed at the justifications for the government's (or minister's) actions and funding, which are deemed insufficient or ineffective.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
The main targets of criticism are the government (which cannot secure additional funding) and the Ministry of Education and Research, which shows no interest in veterinary studies. The criticism is policy- and procedure-driven, accusing the government of "green hysteria" and managing the country based on an Excel spreadsheet, thereby ignoring the sector's needs. Separate opposition is directed at the stance of a ruling party member who considers living in the countryside detrimental to the environment.

15th Estonian Parliament, 3rd session, plenary session
The primary criticism is aimed at the current government, which is accused of implementing economy-stifling taxes (such as fuel excise duty and road usage fees) under the guise of the "green transition." Critics oppose the government’s environmental policy, arguing that it actually increases the environmental footprint by forcing haulers to use multiple vehicles to transport the same volume of goods. The criticism is policy-driven and intense.

15th Estonian Parliament, third sitting, information briefing

15th Estonian Parliament, 3rd sitting, plenary session
The criticism is aimed at the government’s inaction or inefficiency, particularly concerning its failure to finalize policies and its lack of awareness regarding the professional backgrounds of people residing in the country. The critic also takes aim at the demands made by certain interest groups (such as Muslim/Jewish schools), dismissing them as pseudo-issues that divert attention away from providing aid to Ukraine. Furthermore, the lack of inter-ministerial consultation during the drafting of legislation is also criticized.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, information briefing
The criticism is aimed at the government and agencies (the Labour Inspectorate, PRIA) which impose bureaucratic requirements that make agriculture inefficient and ignore practical needs.

2024-04-02
15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary sitting

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
Criticism is aimed both at the Riigikogu Board for procedural deficiencies and at government ministers who wish to import labor from outside Estonia.

He expresses strong opposition to circumventing a referendum on the marriage issue.
