15th Estonian Parliament, 3rd session, plenary session.
The primary opponents are the coalition parties (the Social Democrats and the Reform Party), who face criticism for poor legislative drafting, superficiality, and a lack of command over the subject matter. Criticism is also leveled at the incompetence of the minister and the commission representative. The speaker further faults the coalition for misplaced priorities (local government revenues derived at the expense of landowners) and for breaking their word.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting
The main criticism is directed at the governing coalition (especially Eesti 200) for breaking promises (e.g., taxing pensions, pledges regarding the car tax). The criticism is intense and covers both political substance (the detrimental nature of the taxes) and procedural violations (breach of the Rules of Procedure/House Rules, unequal treatment). Instead of a compromise, the demand is for the rejection of the draft legislation or the termination of the proceedings.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, information briefing
The main criticism is aimed at the government and its coalition partners (including the Reform Party and the Social Democrats) for their political dishonesty and incompetence. The criticism is intense and focuses on both political promises (pensions, the car tax) and ethical issues (lying, the erosion of trust). The speaker also refers to the previous government as "wasteful and living a life of luxury."

15th Riigikogu, third session, plenary sitting
The main opponents are the governing coalition (the Reform Party, the Social Democrats, Estonia 200), especially the Reform Party, which is accused of repeatedly lying both before and after the elections. The criticism is intense and focuses on political credibility, ethical failings, and breaking promises, rather than just the substance of the policy. The speaker is calling for the bill not to be supported, ruling out any possibility of compromise.
