15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
Criticism is aimed at state-owned enterprises (Elering, Elektrilevi) for their monopolistic and obstructive practices, which make the entire energy issue too complex to grasp. Political inertia and resistance to proposals (such as exempting consumers from renewable energy fees) are also being criticized. Furthermore, the elitist attitude toward residents of sparsely populated areas is specifically condemned; these residents are viewed as having lower levels of education and awareness.

15th Estonian Parliament, 5th session, plenary session
The main criticism is leveled at the government coalition, which is accused of implementing flawed taxes (the car tax) and lacking strategic vision, focusing only on short-term fixes. The criticism is rooted in both policy and competence, stressing that the coalition's tax logic (replacing one tax with another) is fundamentally wrong. The speaker argues that a normal compromise regarding the car tax is impossible because the tax is inherently flawed.
