By Plenary Sessions: Maris Lauri

Criticism is directed against the factions of the Centre Party (Keskerakond) and Isamaa, accusing them of unfamiliarity with the draft bill, avoiding substantive discussions, and submitting amendments that conflict with the constitution. The opposition's proposals to reject the bill are considered hypocritical, as they would reduce budget transparency. It is noted that the Centre Party made itself look "ridiculous" with one of its proposals.

Criticism is aimed both at the current opposition for failing to provide substantive input and at previous governments for poorly preparing the transition to activity-based budgeting. The 2020 budget is particularly sharply criticized as "the darkest," enabling misappropriation of funds and general confusion. The opposition is accused of not engaging substantively, but simply stating that everything has gotten darker.
