15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
The criticism is aimed squarely at the government's actions, particularly concerning the repeated failure to deliver on promises and the chosen funding mechanism. The opposition is primarily procedural, focusing on how the funds of the Cultural Endowment (Kultuurkapital) are being utilized and the creation of a new financial "side channel," the sustainability of which is highly questionable.

The primary conflict is with the government, which is being criticized for submitting the car tax bill—a move labeled a poor decision given the public's ability to cope financially. The criticism is policy-based, focusing on the negative impact of the legislation and the administrative inefficiency it creates (the necessity of mapping data that should already be easily accessible).
