15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting
The confrontation is mainly directed at Russian chauvinism and propaganda, which uses the monument as a revanchist demonstration of power, and at local Russian activists who are turning it into a cult object. Procedurally, the government is criticized for interfering with the work of the parliament by means of confidence votes, and questions are raised regarding the legal opinion issued by the Minister of Justice.

The opposition maintains a strong stance, targeting the government's policies regarding migration, the permanent settlement of refugees, and crime statistics. The criticism is both political (claiming the government's policy will lead to a demographic catastrophe in Ukraine) and personal/ideological (accusing the government of political correctness and a lack of objectivity).

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting
The main targets of criticism are the government and the relevant ministries (the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Social Affairs), who are being accused of deliberate stalling. The criticism is aimed at procedural obstruction, as the government employs a standard argument to reject bills proposed by the opposition. The speaker suspects that this is a case of ideological resistance rather than a rational political decision.
