Fifteenth Riigikogu, sixth sitting, plenary sitting.
The criticism is aimed at the system and government institutions that permit requiring Russian language proficiency from employees, while simultaneously ignoring the lack of service in Estonian. There is also opposition to the passive attitude, where people "simply shrug their shoulders" when service is unavailable.

15th Riigikogu, extraordinary session of the Riigikogu
The main opponent is the government coalition and the Minister of Education and Research Kristina Kallas, who is criticized for breaking promises, causing delays, and general inefficiency. The criticism is policy- and procedure-based, specifically accusing the government of failing to take concrete steps and postponing important legislation (such as the Language Act). Attention is also drawn to the decision made by the majority of the Cultural Committee, which prevented the timely discussion of the bill aimed at averting the strike.
