15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary sitting
The primary confrontation is aimed at the Social Democrats, who are being accused of holding the coalition hostage, manipulating the electorate, and undermining the state's security interests. Criticism is also leveled at the Reform Party and Eesti 200, who are being urged to "cast off those chains around them" and vote according to their conscience. The criticism is intense and covers both policy issues (voting rights for stateless persons) and procedural matters (unclear delegation, the Brezhnev package).

The main targets of criticism are the minister and ministry officials, who are accused of creating illogical regions and pressuring local governments into signing agreements.

Instead of a compromise, there is an urgent demand for the immediate cessation of the activity.
