15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
The criticism is aimed at Riigikogu members (e.g., Varro Vooglaid and Eduard Odinets) who raised questions regarding the consequences of the agreement or potential alternatives (such as freezing it). Russia is heavily criticized as an unreliable contracting partner whose legal system is politically motivated and cannot be trusted. Furthermore, the Centre Party is being reproached for its previous unsuccessful attempt to "freeze" the agreement with United Russia.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
The main opponents are Isamaa politicians Urmas Reinsalu and Jaanus Karilaid, who are sharply criticized for political hypocrisy regarding tax issues. The criticism is aimed at their past mistakes (the loss of 235 million euros to Latvia) and their untrustworthiness, rather than focusing on substantive opposition to the car tax itself. Martin Helme is also criticized for "whistleblowing."

15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary sitting.
The speaker takes a strong stance against EKRE, accusing them of obstruction and introducing politically motivated bills that threaten the balance of the judicial system. He personally criticizes Martin Helme for a miscalculation made while serving as the former finance minister during the pension reform, which cost the state 22 million euros.
