Criticism is aimed at previous policy, which has left the development of sports exposed to "political crosscurrents" and focused on one-off decisions instead of a systemic plan. The country's financial situation is also criticized for hindering the launch of innovative plans, although it is acknowledged that raising taxes is unpopular. The speaker also criticizes the current failure of the spirit of the law, which allows companies to donate 10% of their profit to associations that receive income tax benefits.

First Reading of the Draft Resolution of the Riigikogu "Making a Proposal to the Government of the Republic to Restore Support for Youth School Sports" (405 OE)

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session

The main criticism is directed at the Ministry of Culture's decision to stop funding EKSL and the Jõud Sports Union, which Belobrovtsev considers unexpected and the termination of a successfully operating system. The Ministry (Koort), in turn, criticizes the umbrella organizations, claiming that they have been doing the same things for 20–30 years and do not meet the needs of today's children. Tein explains that the Ministry's goal is to find the 50% of children who are not involved in sports, contrasting this approach with the organization of existing events.
