The primary targets of criticism are the governing coalition (especially the Reform Party and Eesti 200) and the ministers, who stand accused of pursuing bureaucratic and anti-populace policies. The criticism is directed both at specific political decisions (tax increases, regional budget cuts) and at procedural shortcomings (lack of transparency, the concealment of corruption cases). He accuses the government of "arbitrary rule over its own people" and of creating false illusions (for instance, financing national defense by making cuts elsewhere).

The main opponents are the government coalition (Reform Party, Estonia 200, Social Democrats) and specifically Prime Minister Kaja Kallas and the portfolio ministers. Criticism is directed both at the policy (tax increases, green transition requirements) and the procedures (lack of legislative intent documents, bundling of obstructionist amendments). There are also personal attacks, questioning the competence and ethical conduct of ministers (e.g., the Bolt/Deputy Secretary General conflict of interest, the Interior Minister's actions regarding the Narva buoys). The government's activity is described as a "steamroller."
