15th Estonian Parliament, 6th sitting, press briefing
The confrontation is aimed at both the current and previous governments, who are accused of undermining families' sense of security through unstable support policies. The criticism is based on policy and procedure, citing the subsequent revocation of benefits for large families after they had initially been increased as a prime example. The government's attempt to present the reduction of the car tax as genuine assistance is also under fire.

15th Riigikogu, 6th sitting, plenary session
The primary targets of criticism are former Minister of the Interior Lauri Läänemets (for the decision to close the Kopli station) and former Prime Minister Kaja Kallas (for delegating responsibility and setting priorities). The criticism focuses on political choices (pitting officials' salaries against the station) and incompetence (closing the station despite having the necessary funds). Furthermore, the government is criticized for its failure to guarantee police officers and rescuers a decent wage during a period of high inflation.

15th Riigikogu, 6th sitting, plenary sitting.
The main opponents are the coalition parties and the Social Democrats, who are accused of voting down the Centre Party's substantive proposals and using a "steamroller" to crush dissent. Criticism is intense, focusing on political malpractice, hypocrisy, and a government hostile to families. Separately, representatives of the Reform Party are criticized, with specific reference to donations made by the founders of Bolt, which may have influenced legislative decisions.

15th Riigikogu, 6th sitting, plenary sitting
The primary criticism targets the Reform Party-led governments and their fiscal policies, which are often characterized as hostile toward public sector employees. Critics point to the failure to deliver on political promises (such as the goal of raising teachers' salaries to 120% of the national average) and the government's alleged financial mismanagement ("money is/is not available"). There is also criticism regarding the shifting of responsibilities from the central state to local municipalities.

15th Riigikogu, 6th plenary sitting
The main opponents are the "coalition MPs," who are criticized on political grounds because they did not support the bill initiated by the Centre Party. The criticism is directed at a political decision that prevents the lives of ordinary people from becoming easier and cheaper.

15th Riigikogu, 6th sitting, plenary session
The primary adversaries are the coalition (specifically the Reform Party) and the various ministries. The speaker criticizes the coalition's political culture, noting that opposition bills are rejected "simply as a matter of principle." Furthermore, the ministries are attacked for using procedural pretexts (such as the absence of an impact analysis), which the speaker labels as hypocritical and a convenient tactic. Bewilderment is expressed regarding Reform Party members "leaping to the defense of large banks."

15th Riigikogu, 6th sitting, press briefing
The primary target of criticism is the government coalition, which is being slammed for the confusion surrounding the car tax, its indecisiveness, and for implementing only cosmetic changes. Historical responsibility for establishing the tax is placed squarely on the Social Democrats, who are cited as the original authors of the idea and who do not appear to support abolishing the tax. The criticism is based on both policy and procedure.
2025-09-08
15th Riigikogu, 6th sitting, plenary session
The main criticism is aimed at the Government of the Republic and the management of the state-owned enterprise Elering, accusing them of disregarding Estonia's socio-economic consequences when establishing external interconnections. The criticism is based on policy and procedural grounds, demanding clarification on who authorized Elering to disregard national interests. The necessity of redirecting investments into domestic networks is being considered, contrasting with the current focus.

15th Riigikogu, extraordinary session of the Riigikogu
The opposition's stance is primarily directed at the Government of the Republic as a whole and specific ministers (Kaja Kallas, Kristina Kallas, Igor Taro, Liisa-Ly Pakosta). Criticism focuses on political incompetence (the failure of the education agreement), unfair cuts (the Kopli fire station), and broken promises (teachers' salaries). The opposition culminated in the submission of a motion of no confidence against Minister of Justice and Digital Affairs Liisa-Ly Pakosta.
