By Years: Helir-Valdor Seeder

The speaker is a fierce critic of the ruling coalition (Reform Party, Estonia 200, Social Democrats), accusing them of waging a "tax war against their own people" and running the country in a shambolic manner. The criticism targets both the substance of the policy (tax hikes, cuts to family benefits) and the government's incompetence and lack of transparency (decisions being made by a small inner circle before parliamentary debate). The Prime Minister is accused of "megalomania" and equating the state with herself.

The main opponents are the Reform Party and the Social Democrats, who are accused of breaking election promises and ideological hypocrisy (e.g., the SDE's support for abolishing the tax hump). Criticism is directed both at the substance of the policies (tax hikes, migration policy) and at procedural irregularities (the "forced linkage" of amendments). The Social Democrats are accused of holding Estonia's security hostage over the issue of suffrage ("the red line").
