15th Estonian Parliament, 4th session, plenary session
The main opponent is Foreign Minister Tsahkna, who is personally criticized for his "pig-headedness" and lack of historical awareness. Criticism is also directed at the decision-making procedure (the "axe method," referring to a heavy-handed approach) and the political substance (misplaced priorities, the destruction of symbols). The Minister pushed the decision through despite opposition from coalition partners and the Foreign Affairs Committee.

15th Estonian Parliament, 4th session, press briefing.
The chief opponent is the government, specifically the Prime Minister, who is accused of coordinating and sanctioning the removal of the Lihula monument. The criticism is both procedural (secret planning) and value-based (the mischaracterization of the Estonian freedom struggle). The speaker accuses the government of confusing monuments dedicated to perpetrators of genocide with the commemoration of Estonian freedom fighters.

15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary session
The primary targets are the prime minister and the government, who are being criticized for financial irresponsibility and for implementing "externally sourced ideas." The criticism is intense and policy-driven, accusing the government of destroying the rural economy and exports, and demonstrating a malicious attitude toward children's education. There is no willingness to compromise; the policies are considered utterly irrational.
