15th Estonian Parliament, 5th session, plenary session
Strong opposition is directed at the coalition parties (the Social Democrats, Eesti 200, the Reform Party), who are accused of unwarranted criticism of Isamaa. The criticism is policy-based, particularly aimed at the Social Democrats, who failed to strongly support the proposal for a fixed price for the universal service. Colleague Aab's statement regarding the price of the universal service is considered outright misleading.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The primary opposition is aimed at the government's tax policy and inefficient public transport, which is widely viewed as punishing the populace. Strong criticism is also leveled against the Riigikogu Board and its committees for violating established parliamentary good practice when processing draft legislation in the absence of the bill's initiator. The criticism is both policy-based and procedural.
