15th Estonian Parliament, 4th sitting, plenary session
The main opponents are the bill's proponents and the "wind farm entrepreneurs," who are being criticized for greenwashing and wasting taxpayer money. The criticism is intense, focusing on political shortcomings, such as the short-term validity of the draft legislation and the economic inefficiency of wind energy without subsidies. The EKRE faction does not support the bill, which demonstrates a clear lack of willingness to compromise on this issue.

The 15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary sitting.
The main criticism is directed at Kaja Kallas’s government, which is accused of cutting family benefits, eliminating income tax breaks, and pursuing anti-family policies. The criticism is particularly intense towards the Minister of Social Affairs (Signe Riisalo) and other politicians, whose statements regarding motherhood and large families are considered cynical and disparaging. The government's actions are seen as creating uncertainty and discouraging people from having children.

15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary session
The primary targets of opposition are Kristen Michal’s government and the responsible ministers (Minister of Education Kristina Kallas, and the Minister of Climate). Criticism is aimed at political failure (specifically, the easing of the transition to Estonian-language education) and incompetence (the lack of data regarding the impact of bog restoration). Compromise is ruled out; they demand an end to the "dragging of feet" and the replacement of teachers with poor language proficiency with native Estonian-speaking teachers.
