15th Riigikogu, Riigikogu extraordinary session.
The primary legislative focus is the confidence vote for the ministerial nominee, during which the speaker clearly expresses their opposition and lack of trust.

15th Riigikogu, extraordinary session of the Riigikogu
The legislative focus is currently centered on preventing the passage of the Motor Vehicle Tax Act, a bill the speaker actively opposes. Critics are highlighting the law's social flaws and condemning the government for rushing its adoption during an extraordinary session, using a "strong-arm tactic" to force through two readings.
