The speaker submitted a query, along with several colleagues (the Baltic Sea incident), and made proposals for improving the parliament's rules of procedure (concerning the Bureau's intervention in the absence of a constitutional analysis). He also referenced a conversation held with Mart Helme regarding the camera network. Cooperation with the government coalition appears to be low, as they are accused of constantly lying and violating the constitution.

Collaboration occurs primarily within their own faction (EKRE), where they submit alternative legislative drafts (such as the amendment to the State Audit Act) and proposals for forming investigative committees. Outside the faction, the style of cooperation is confrontational; the speaker anticipates that the coalition will immediately shoot down the opposition's bills during the first reading. He/She demands the universal character of parliamentary rules but demonstrates no willingness to make substantive compromises with the government.

9 Speeches
Cooperation is lacking because the speaker represents an opposition viewpoint that conflicts with the positions held by the government and the majority of the Riigikogu. The faction of the Estonian Conservative People's Party does not support the draft statement currently under consideration, which demonstrates clear confrontation with the ruling coalition.
