Criticism has been leveled against the opposition's assertions that the draft legislation is detrimental or unfair to businesses. These claims were refuted by arguments emphasizing that the bill ensures fair competition and is fully compliant with EU law. Urmas Reinsalu faced especially harsh criticism for making inaccurate statements regarding correspondence sent to the commission, leading to accusations that he was deliberately misleading the public. The amendment proposed by the opposition (Andres Metsoja) was ultimately rejected on the grounds that it would violate EU law.

While there is no direct political confrontation, objections raised from outside the political system are being addressed. The opposition is directed at the stance of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Tallink, who argue that the draft bill is unconstitutional due to its adverse retroactive effect. The speaker is conveying the ministry’s position, which refutes this claim.

Criticism is directed at those challenging the wolf hunt, who are accused of creating fear and hatred of wolves and damaging the reputation of the national animal. The Minister of the Interior and the state's practice regarding the revocation of gun permits are also criticized, as this is disproportionate and endangers citizens loyal to the state.
