4 Speeches

The criticism is primarily aimed at the inefficient administrative system, where agencies fail to take responsibility and simply point fingers at one another. The objection is procedural and calls for system improvement through the designation of accountable parties and the use of fines. Specific political opponents are not being attacked; rather, the focus is on bureaucratic inertia.

2 Speeches

The main criticism is directed at the Ministry of Education and Research, which is accused of failing to prioritize children's physical and mental health and failing to provide clear guidelines to schools. Schools are also criticized for restricting movement during breaks out of fear of accidents, to which the speaker responds, "Accidents happen to those who are active!" The criticism is policy- and procedure-based, not personal.

Criticism towards political opponents is not presented; instead, the focus is on the consensus prevailing in the parliament. A compromise was possible and was achieved through consensus.
