15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
The primary criticism is leveled against the minister and the executive branch, citing the late submission of the report as evidence of underestimating parliament, alongside the methodological deficiencies of the analysis. There is strong opposition to the government's immigration policy, which has been labeled disastrous, and to the ideological disregard for integration issues. The criticism is both policy- and procedure-based, and it is intense.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary session
The criticism targets the corruption of the Ukrainian judicial system and implicitly, the passivity of Estonian officials when it comes to protecting the whistleblower. This opposition is based on political and ethical grounds, demanding concrete foreign policy intervention from the government.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting.
The main targets of criticism are the government as a whole, the prime minister, the Minister of Social Protection, and the chairman of the Social Affairs Committee. The criticism is both political (ineffective birth rate policy) and personal/procedural (not knowing the key indicators, which has been labeled as hypocrisy). The speaker rejects the government's claim of a "global trend" and accuses them of lacking the necessary will.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd plenary sitting
The opposition is directed at the government coalition, which is criticized for rejecting the opposition's bills, and at local politicians, who fear losing control and facing increased difficulty in pushing through factional interests. The criticism is intense and accuses opponents of distrusting the people, claiming that for them, democracy is merely "empty rhetoric." Also criticized are the obstruction and confidence votes that deepen the crisis of parliamentarism—a situation that the option of a national referendum would prevent.

15th Estonian Parliament, 3rd session, plenary session
The primary opponent is the Prime Minister and the government, whose claims regarding the size of child and family benefits and the causes of mass immigration (especially concerning Ukrainian refugees) are being intensely and factually scrutinized and corrected. The criticism is directed at the failure of policy and the distortion of data, not at the personal level.
