The primary confrontation is directed at the government and the prime minister, criticizing the lack of transparency in their decision-making process and their disregard for local residents.

15th Riigikogu, 6th sitting, plenary session
The primary opposition is aimed at the government's immigration policy, which is widely viewed as detrimental and lacking a popular mandate. The criticism is policy-based, accusing the government of causing a drop in productivity and effectively freezing wage levels by importing cheap labor. Furthermore, the OSKA reports are criticized for being biased toward employers, and the minister (who is absent) is faulted for failing to delve deeply enough into the issue.

15th Riigikogu, extraordinary session of the Riigikogu
The main opponents are the government coalition and specific ministers (Lauri Läänemets, the Minister of Climate, and the Minister of Education and Research). Criticism is directed both at political decisions (such as the protection of Ukrainian men and energy projects) and procedural deficiencies (including violations of the rules of procedure and a lack of transparency). The speaker accuses the government of acting against Estonian security (by concealing hybrid operations) and supporting Russia's historical narrative (by suppressing the memory of the Battle of Sinimäed).
