15th Estonian Parliament, 3rd session, plenary session.
The primary criticism is aimed at the state and the legislature for imposing taxes and regulations that burden property owners (such as the increase in land tax and restrictions related to the green transition). The criticism is policy- and procedure-driven, accusing the state of failing to compensate for the income lost due to protected areas and creating absurd bureaucratic hurdles.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting
Strong opposition to the government, criticizing its decision to implement a blanket car tax that fails to solve the actual pollution problems. The criticism targets the illogical nature of the policy (Porsche vs. Land Cruiser) and the fact that it taxes the lifestyle of rural residents who have already invested in compensating for the lack of state services. The speaker also calls the draft bill an act of Estonian political foolishness.
