15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The opposition is extremely fierce and is directed against Isamaa, the Social Democrats (SDE), and the Centre Party, who are being criticized for supporting the progressive income tax. The criticism is both political (referencing the "tax hump") and character-based (calling the Centre Party "hypocritical"). Speaker C emphasizes the ideological confrontation, arguing that their positions are expected and consistent with their respective worldviews.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The opposition is directed at the proponents of the draft legislation who seek to repeal the security tax and the increase in corporate income tax. The criticism is policy-driven and intense, as the governing coalition, acting through the Ministry of Finance, does not support the bill because it would create a gap in the budget without replacement revenue.
