15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The primary conflict is with the opposition that filed the motion of no confidence, which is being criticized for offering inadequate and intellectually weak justifications. The criticism also targets the opposition's attempts to incite panic regarding prisons and their incorrect grasp of how the rule of law operates. There is no willingness to compromise; instead, the focus is entirely on completely discrediting the opposing side's arguments.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting.
The speaker takes a stand against those who criticize the judicial system ideologically (a critique stemming from a right-wing worldview) or those who doubt Estonia's commitment to the rule of law. The criticism is particularly sharp towards the state, which has acted "faithlessly" or "broken its word" by failing to reinstate judges' salaries. He also criticizes the misinterpretation of inclusion, which would wrongly assume that 100% of all opinions must be taken into account.
