By Plenary Sessions: Maris Lauri

The criticism is aimed at colleagues who demonstrate incompetence in grasping the technical details of the budget or who seek to break international agreements (an indirect reference to EKRE regarding their desire to leave the EU). The criticism is both substantive and procedural, stressing the need for opponents to read the drafts and understand the terminology to avoid "double things" [or duplication].

Criticism is directed primarily at irrational attitudes and past political decisions, rather than at specific political opponents. The criticism is particularly sharp regarding the dismantling of the second pillar of the pension system, which is considered a "very stupid" move that hinders the accumulation of domestic capital. Also criticized are NIMBY and BANANA attitudes, which prevent the valorization of natural resources.
