There is no direct attack on the opponents; the opposition is rather procedural and ideological, as, for example, in the case of the motion to reject the draft rules of procedure. The criticism focuses on the question of whether the proposed measures are proportional or whether existing laws are already sufficient.

The speaker does not criticize the opposition personally, but their role is to present the position of the government and the committee, which systematically rejects the bills initiated by the opposition (e.g., Ants Frosch and Helir-Valdor Seeder). The rejection is justified by political and legal arguments, for instance, due to the disproportionality of the bill or the binding obligation it would create for local municipalities.
