The 15th Riigikogu, VI Session, Plenary Sitting
The main opponent is the government, which is sharply criticized both procedurally (for the lack of clear standpoints regarding the EU financial perspective) and politically. The government's financial policy is being called a "bungling course," which is leading to an unpredictable situation, a new tax festival, and uncertainty for investors.

The main opponent is the coalition government led by the Reform Party, which is accused of conducting an "experiment of a unique nature" on the Estonian economy.

The speaker also notes that the coalition members themselves do not believe their own rhetoric, given that they walked out of the debate.

The main targets of criticism are the Prime Minister (for fiscal dishonesty) and the Minister of the Interior/Government (for violating fundamental rights and using improper procedure). The criticism is intense and directed both at policy (expanding surveillance/pressure) and procedure (covertly slipping legislation through). The speaker declares that the government has lost confidence, and consequently, it is impossible to support their bills.
