By Plenary Sessions: Henn Põlluaas

The main opponents are the Reform Party, the Social Democrats (including Sven Mikser), and Estonia 200, who are sharply criticized for their lack of realism and inadequate decisions (such as acceding to the Ottawa Convention). The criticism is intense and policy-driven, accusing them of naivety and taking steps beneficial to the Kremlin. A compromise on the issue of anti-personnel mines is ruled out, as it is an existential matter from the perspective of national defense.

The speaker sharply criticizes both the current "so-called right-wing government" and previous social democrats, accusing them of dishonest and economy-damaging subsidy policies. The criticism is policy- and results-based, focusing on the suspension of subsidies for offshore wind farms, rather than their complete abandonment, and the purposeful maintenance of high energy prices.

The speaker adopts an interrogative and scrutinizing role towards the Minister, focusing specifically on the government's financing plans. The criticism is inherently political and centers on fiscal accountability, particularly concerning potential tax hikes, while demanding clarity regarding alternative solutions.

The opposition's stance is aimed directly at the government and the minister, criticizing both the substance of the policy and its failed implementation. The criticism is intense and centers on the government's inability to execute a viable regional policy and secure adequate funding for local municipalities.
