15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary sitting
The speaker is demanding a search for compromise "across the board" (broader than just within the coalition) to secure the votes necessary for amending the constitution, setting this as a prerequisite for cooperation. At the same time, strong distrust is expressed, noting that the coalition began its search for compromise by ignoring the opposition.

15th Estonian Parliament, 4th sitting, press briefing.
The speaker has collaborated with opposition factions, submitting an alternative draft constitutional amendment together with Isamaa and several non-affiliated members of parliament. He expresses a willingness to seek compromise, but strictly on the condition that voting rights for non-citizens are excluded from the constitution. The coalition is being asked to drop its arrogance if it wishes to secure votes.

No desire for cooperation is expressed; the style is confrontational, focusing on defending the opposition's stance against the steamrolling of the government's agenda. The speaker emphasizes that the opposition's participation in the work of the Riigikogu only contributes to the coalition's pretense that democracy is actually functioning.
