By Plenary Sessions: Riina Sikkut

The criticism is aimed at those who spread misinformation and pseudo-scientific claims about wind energy, particularly concerning health risks. A person with a medical background who presented frightening claims about malformations is especially condemned, being accused of unethical behavior and disregarding science. The opponents' claims regarding the enormous scale of the planned projects are also considered unrealistic.

The criticism is primarily aimed at the inaction of previous governments and officials, citing the nearly two-year delay in implementing the Tobacco Directive and the protracted drafting process of ENMAK. The speaker counters Urmas Reinsalu’s criticism, defending the social democrats’ stance on the comprehensive energy strategy. He also criticizes the tobacco industry for deliberately cultivating new consumers.

The criticism is directed at budget policy and financial management, which treats culture merely as a simple budget line item. The speaker challenges the mindset of "competition enthusiasts and progressive performance managers," demanding that they apply their performance-based criteria when compensating cultural workers.

The criticism is aimed at those who caused a nearly two-year obstruction during the bill's proceedings, which delayed the entry into force of a reasonable amendment. The opposition is procedural, focusing on hindering legislative work.

The primary opposition is aimed at the government’s plans (amendments to the Employment Contracts Act) and the minister’s arguments, criticizing both the substance of the policy and professional competence. The resistance is intense, especially concerning the shifting of business risks onto employees and the undermining of worker protection. No willingness to compromise has been expressed; instead, a struggle is being promised.

Not enough data.

Direct political opponents are not criticized, but concern is expressed regarding additional barriers and increased bureaucracy that could prolong the process. The criticism is instead aimed at inefficient procedural additions and oversight stages that may not be substantively necessary. The compromise proposal is supported, even though it is not considered an ideal solution.

The opposition is aimed at those who view the directive as over-regulation or who question the availability of competent women, specifically citing the Minister of Finance’s personal skepticism and the questions raised by Siim Pohlak. The criticism is policy- and value-based, refuting prejudices regarding women's leadership skills and the unfair assumption of "stupid women."
