The criticism is primarily aimed at the opposition parties (Isamaa, EKRE), who stand accused of irresponsibility regarding state finances and short-sightedness (for instance, Isamaa’s scaling back of ambitions in the energy sector). The opposition is also faulted for creating the impression that the government is "robbing Estonian citizens," and for failing to offer constructive, forward-moving solutions (such as during the sports funding debate). The criticism is overwhelmingly policy-driven and centers on a perceived lack of accountability.

39 Speeches

The criticism is primarily aimed at the opposition (Center Party, EKRE, Isamaa) for obstructing reforms, pursuing short-sighted policies, and for structural problems inherited from previous governments (bureaucracy, debt burden). Particularly sharp criticism is leveled against attempts to sabotage the transition to Estonian-language education and against Isamaa's proposal to create sector-specific exceptions (such as for drivers) that would promote inequality. Regarding personal accusations (the Lehtme case), he directs his opponents to take their complaints to the police.
