By Plenary Sessions: Õnne Pillak

There is no direct opposition to political opponents, as the speaker is acting as the commission’s rapporteur. The speaker neutrally conveys the concerns of stakeholders (e.g., municipalities) regarding the shortage and burnout of child protection workers. Criticism is instead directed toward systemic problems, such as the sustainability of funding after the termination of EU funds.

The opposition is directed at the previous government led by the Centre Party, which is criticized for failing to raise benefits for adults with disabilities during the economic boom. The criticism is policy- and results-based, and it also refutes earlier claims regarding the initiator of the increase in benefits for disabled children. The confrontation is specific, but ultimately there is a call to avoid "heated confrontation" more broadly.
