The 15th Riigikogu, 6th Session, Plenary Sitting

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting.
The primary confrontation is aimed squarely at the Social Democrats, who are being criticized ironically and somewhat dismissively, hinting at the vagueness or sheer annoyance of their concerns ("where exactly they have an itch"). The criticism is more rhetorical and personal, rather than being directly policy- or procedure-based.
2025-05-21
Fifteenth Riigikogu, Fifth Session, Plenary Session.
The speaker himself does not voice opposition; rather, he relays the conflicting positions that emerged within the committee. The primary tension lies between the desire to reduce bureaucracy (held by the initiators of the bill) and the emphasis placed on the positive impact and international credibility of sustainability reports (stressed by ministry representatives).

The criticism is aimed at the factual inaccuracy of the opposition’s assertions.

15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary sitting

2024-11-21
15th Estonian Parliament, 4th sitting, plenary session
The criticism is aimed at major economic powers (China, USA) that are moving away from the Green Deal, as well as the new European Commission, which is no longer prioritizing climate goals. The opposition is politically focused on the abandonment of these objectives and the loss of focus, rather than being directed at individuals.
2024-11-20
15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary sitting
The criticism targets the political duplicity and the "theater" playing out between the coalition and the opposition, where factions are constantly jockeying for position and prioritizing their own interests, thus preventing consensus.

2024-07-22
15th Riigikogu, Riigikogu's extraordinary session.

2024-06-12
15th Estonian Parliament, 3rd session, plenary session.

2024-01-24
15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, information briefing
The main criticism is directed at the Competition Authority, citing incorrect communication and bias in the analysis, because the document was not released to market participants or politicians. Furthermore, there is criticism regarding a potential conflict of interest, as the person responsible for the reform (Maris Jesse) is now compiling the analysis of that very reform, prompting the question of whether this constitutes self-auditing. The criticism is procedural and focuses on transparency.
2024-01-22
15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting
The confrontation is directed against the actions of the Minister of Climate (Kristen Michal) and the ruling coalition, criticizing the stalling and delays in the preparation of development plans.

2024-01-15
15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary session.
Criticism is aimed at the government's regulatory decisions, which have created fertile ground for the emergence of the black market and resulted in the state losing potential tax revenue. The government is also facing criticism regarding its energy policy, with warnings that the state should not be making decisions based solely on the interests of a single private company. Furthermore, the criticism targets the inefficiency of the policy and the significant shortcomings in oversight within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Interior.
