The main criticism is directed at the Minister of Social Affairs (Health) and the government as a whole, accusing them of management incompetence, ignorance regarding cash flow, and inadequate family policy. The representative of the commission is directly criticized for presenting false information about the protests by entrepreneurs, thereby pointing to a procedural breach in informing Parliament. The government's policy is referred to as a "left-wing critique" concerning private medicine.

15th Riigikogu, 6th sitting, press briefing
Direct opposition to the government is not expressed; rather, criticism is aimed at the executive branch's slow pace and lack of clarity regarding critical security matters. Specifically, there is criticism concerning the delay in procuring the acoustic surveillance system due to economic or financial reasons, despite the fact that bids were submitted last year. The criticism is procedural, focusing on the speed of decision-making and the need to eliminate confusion surrounding the division of competencies.

The criticism is both substantive and procedural, focusing on the failure to provide information regarding contracts valued at half a billion, and the ignoring of military advice. The speaker believes the situation is too serious to give a member of the government "remedial lessons," and advises him to consider resigning.
2025-09-04
15th Riigikogu, extraordinary session of the Riigikogu
The primary targets are the Reform Party-led government coalition and Prime Ministers Kaja Kallas and Kristen Michal, both of whom face accusations of lying and incompetence. The criticism is intense and multi-faceted, encompassing political decisions (tax hikes), ethical controversies (Kallas’s family business, pressure on the Prosecutor’s Office), and violations of parliamentary rules of procedure. The coalition stands accused of imposing a "dictate" and systematically curtailing the rights of the opposition.
