15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The main opponent is the Minister of Justice and the government, whose priorities are strange and illogical. Criticism is aimed both at political decisions (tax cuts for casinos) and at the Minister’s unethical behavior, who gave the impression that the speaker had supported the leasing of prisons. The speaker urgently demands the opportunity to refute the "lies" spread by the Minister.

Criticism is aimed both at political decisions (tax hikes) and procedural unreliability (accusations of stalling the Competition Act, and Prime Minister Kristen Michal breaking promises regarding the tax moratorium). The opposition is intense, manifesting in proposals to halt the reading of draft bills.

Strong opposition is aimed at the government, and particularly the Eesti 200 party, who stand accused of obstructing restrictions on consumer credit advertising and politically overemphasizing competition law.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The criticism is aimed at colleagues who presented inadequate proposals or demonstrated a lack of nuance in assessing security threats. Helir-Valdor Seeder was criticized specifically; his statement was called "customarily very one-dimensional and insensitive to nuance" due to his disregard for the change in the threat assessment. Kalle Grünthal's proposal to use mines without withdrawing from the convention was also rejected.
