By Plenary Sessions: Andres Metsoja

The criticism is aimed at the state's inaction in boosting the revenue base of local municipalities and against the state for forcing local governments to cover the compensation for land tax on protected areas. The criticism is rooted in policy and procedure, highlighting the state's inability to fulfill its promises.

The criticism is leveled against the state bureaucracy and the Ministry of Climate, accusing them of internal contradictions and an inability to ensure a balance between competing interests. The opposition is both procedural and political, focusing on the disregard for agreed-upon planning and the allocation of EU funds to projects that actually impede development. The speaker also criticizes environmental protection agencies for prioritizing the restoration of wetlands at the expense of previously agreed-upon energy development.

The opposition is directed at the government's policies, especially the introduction of the sugar tax. The criticism is policy-based, accusing the government of using ineffective and simplistic instruments to achieve its goals, instruments which ultimately fail to change consumer behavior.
