By Plenary Sessions: Heljo Pikhof

The criticism is aimed at previous governments and their budget policies, which have led to a long-term reduction in the Ministry of Culture's share of funding. Specific criticism is leveled against the tenure of the minister who belonged to the Isamaa party, during which the growth of the minimum wage for cultural workers stopped. The criticism is policy- and results-based, not personal.

The strong opposition is directed at the government's education policy and the implementation of the transition to Estonian-language instruction for Ukrainians who have been granted temporary protection. The criticism is policy-based, accusing the opposing side (e.g., Tõnis Lukas) of offering impractical solutions and opening a "Pandora's box," which would trigger demands from other ethnic groups for schools in their native languages. Proponents are also accused of procedural obstruction by submitting 200 amendments.
