15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The primary criticism is directed at the government, which stands accused of procedural violations and poor governance. The criticism is particularly intense because the government is planning to pass billion-euro decisions while ignoring the "devastating assessment" provided by entrepreneurs and the complete lack of parliamentary debate.

15th Estonian Parliament, 5th session, plenary session.
The opposition is fierce against the ruling coalition (Reform Party, Eesti 200, Social Democrats), accusing them of undermining tax stability and outright lying. There is strong criticism of procedural obstruction, specifically for holding the car tax repeal bill hostage for months. Prime Minister Kristen Michal and Mart Võrklaev are personally targeted for their actions deemed hostile toward car owners.

The main criticism is aimed at the government and the prime minister, who are accused of indecisiveness, ignoring the advice of the Commander of the Defence Forces, and postponing necessary decisions.

15th Riigikogu, 5th sitting, plenary session
The main targets of criticism are the governing coalition (Reform Party, Eesti 200) and specific ministers (Kallas, Pevkur, Michal), who are accused of indecisiveness, evasion, and lying. The criticism is both political (wrong priorities, insufficient defense spending) and personal/procedural (mismanagement in the leadership of the Ministry of Defense, causing the resignation of Defense Forces leaders). The speaker shows no willingness to compromise regarding the necessary 1.6 billion euros.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The main opponent is the current "trio coalition" and the Ministry of Social Affairs, which are being sharply criticized for their political choices (tax hikes, cuts to family benefits) and incompetence (lack of evidence-based policy, rushed coordination). The opposition promises to reverse the government's decisions in the future, thereby precluding any permanent legal expectation regarding these policies. The attacks are intense and focus on the negative impact the government's actions have had on public morale.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, information briefing
The primary criticism is aimed at the ruling coalition, particularly the Social Democrats, who are being labeled the ones "holding the decision hostage." The Prime Minister and the Reform Party are criticized for their timidity, having failed to push through a decision that aligns with security interests, despite acknowledging its necessity. The criticism targets both political unwillingness and procedural stalling.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The main criticism is directed at the government as a whole, specifically the Prime Minister and the Social Democrats, who are accused of blocking decisions on energy issues. The criticism is both political (citing incorrect goal setting in the energy sector) and procedural, pointing to nepotistic maneuvers surrounding the State Secretary position and general confusion in financial management. Compromise is ruled out concerning ideological experiments, such as the 100% renewable energy target.
