By Years: Riina Solman

The main opponents are the Reform Party and Prime Minister Kristen Michal, who are criticized for tax hikes, cuts to family benefits, and a lack of integrity. They also criticize the Social Democrats (e.g., Signe Riisalo and Piret Hartman) for their role in the cuts and the failure of regional policy. The criticism is intense, focusing both on political substance (e.g., the car tax) and ethical conduct (e.g., ministers' arrogance and evasion of answering questions).

The opposition's stance is sharp and personalized, criticizing the ministers of the governing parties (especially the Reform Party) both for political decisions (tax hikes, cuts) and for their behavior (arrogance, demagoguery, breaking promises). The Social Democrats are criticized for blocking the restriction of voting rights. It accuses the government of pursuing "steamroller politics" and using the Riigikogu as a "rubber stamp."
