Fifteenth Riigikogu, Fifth Session, Plenary Session.
The speaker is highly critical of both the current government and previous politicians who represented "mainstream ideas." He directly accuses the Social Democrats (Sotsid) of laying the groundwork for the high tax burden, thus extending his criticism beyond just the two parties currently in power. The critique targets specific political decisions (tax hikes) and historical judgment (security failures).

15th Riigikogu, Fifth Session, Plenary Session.
The main opposition is the government and the prime minister, who are criticized for failing to provide substantive answers and relying instead on slogans. Strong criticism is also aimed at the government's actions concerning the constant renaming of ministries and restructuring of departments, which creates instability and is expensive. Furthermore, the prime minister’s claim that climate change is the farmer’s main enemy is being challenged.

15th Riigikogu, 5th sitting, plenary session
The objection is aimed at the coalition's inability to clarify the specific targets of the budget cuts and against colleagues who have become unduly trusting of the president. The speaker sharply rejects accusations that, as a member of the constitutional committee, he acted knowingly and maliciously in violation of the constitution. He expresses little hope that the coalition will support reasonable bills.

15th Riigikogu, fifth sitting, information briefing.
The strong opposition is aimed at the ruling coalition (the Reform Party and Eesti 200) and specifically targets Jürgen Ligi. The criticism is both policy-based (non-transparent cuts) and value-based, condemning the labeling of elected politicians as "sheep." The speaker accuses the Prime Minister of hypocrisy for refusing to comment on her party colleague's statements.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The main criticism is directed at the minister's actions and absence, specifically because they attempted to participate electronically while simultaneously being occupied with another event. The speaker criticizes this as an avoidance of responsibility and demands the minister's physical presence. The criticism is procedural and intense.
