15th Riigikogu, Riigikogu extraordinary session.
The primary confrontation is aimed at Minister Svet, whose past activities concerning the Bronze Soldier monument are considered something that needs to be concealed. The criticism is also indirectly directed at the media, which is being urged to investigate the minister’s earlier actions, given that the minister himself was tight-lipped. Furthermore, the actions of the previous EKRE government are being criticized in the context of a "witch hunt."

The 15th Riigikogu, extraordinary session of the Riigikogu.
The challenge is directed against the actions of the presiding officer and the statement he made from the rostrum concerning the termination of the debate. The criticism is purely procedural, seeking clarification regarding the limits of the chair's authority, referencing the individual (Lauri Hussar) within the context of the role.

15th Riigikogu, extraordinary session of the Riigikogu
The main opponents are the coalition parties (the Reform Party and the Social Democrats), who are criticized both for the substance of their policies and for procedural errors (fast-tracking legislation). The Social Democrats face particularly sharp criticism regarding the voting rights of Russian citizens and the promotion of hardcore Putinists, which is deemed hostile to the state. Opponents are accused of ignoring the financial well-being of families and remaining in power "in the name of completely incomprehensible interests."

15th Riigikogu, Riigikogu's extraordinary session.
The main confrontation is directed at both the previous and the new coalition, who are accused of violating the principles of democracy and the rule of law, as well as interpreting legislation inconsistently. The criticism is intense and stems from both the breaking of prior promises (the pension levy) and the government’s poor performance and lack of transparency regarding the use of public funds.

15th Riigikogu, Extraordinary session of the Riigikogu
The confrontation is aimed at the governing coalition, which is sharply criticized for tax hikes, unfair legislation, and procedural limitations. The criticism is intense, ranging from policy-based arguments (the detrimental nature of the taxes) to personal and ethical attacks, accusing the coalition of either sheer incompetence or cynical actions against the public. Specifically, criticism is leveled at Toomas Uibo’s previous statements and colleague Terras’s capacity for understanding.
