15th Riigikogu, 4th sitting, plenary session
The attitude towards the opposition is sharply critical, accusing them of chasing camera attention instead of doing substantive work and failing to show diligence. The criticism targets both procedural shortcomings (such as not attending committee meetings) and unethical behavior (boorishness, vulgar language, and an authoritarian mindset). The speaker views the motion of no confidence as insincere and completely fabricated.

15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary sitting
The criticism is aimed at opponents who are accused of demagoguery, failing to grasp the logic of the draft bill, and chasing short-term political gains. The lack of substantive proposals and the obstruction of efforts related to security and the economy are especially condemned, which the speaker labels as "unseemly." In his estimation, this obstruction and hostility are "fundamentally wrong" when dealing with specific issues.
