Fifteenth Riigikogu, Fifth Session, Plenary Session.
The main adversary is the governing coalition, particularly the Reform Party, which stands accused of systemic incompetence, a lack of analysis, and misleading the public by concealing the true tax burden. Criticism is aimed both at the political agenda (ideological tax increases and regulations) and the procedural quality (violations of the Rules of Procedure Act). The attacks are intense, and no possibility for compromise is being offered.

The backlash is aimed at the ruling coalition (Reform Party, Eesti 200) and its representatives (including Kristina Kallas, Jürgen Ligi), who are publicly accused of lying and breaking promises.

15th Riigikogu, fifth sitting, information briefing.
The main criticism is aimed at the Prime Minister and the government, accusing them of implementing sweeping tax hikes and pushing through failed policies (the car tax, the security tax). The Reform Party is criticized separately, with critics claiming that the tax increases serve the "Reform Party's tax hump project." The criticism is policy- and performance-based, demanding the reversal of these political decisions.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The primary confrontation is aimed at the governing coalition, the Ministry of Climate, and representatives of the Reform Party, who are accused of creating chaos in the energy sector. Criticism is particularly intense regarding the lack of transparency, pointing to alleged joint proposals between the Ministry of Climate and OÜ Utilitas Wind, which suggest the law is being tailored to benefit specific business interests. A willingness to compromise is not evident, as Isamaa's proposals were rejected.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The main opponent is the sitting government and Finance Minister Jürgen Ligi, who is directly accused of manufacturing lies and bluffs. The criticism is intense, targeting both the political substance (the failure to deliver on promises concerning the reduction of state agencies) and procedural impropriety (the minister walking out of the chamber). No willingness to compromise is evident; instead, the focus is on highlighting a glaring contradiction.
