By Plenary Sessions: Jaanus Karilaid

The speaker emphasizes cross-party cooperation and gives exceptional praise to the Social Democrats (SDE) for two different issues, noting that this level of recognition is the limit of what is seen in decades. He acknowledges SDE for taking a statesmanlike step in amending the constitution (which was achieved with the support of five parties) and commends them for the planning and preparation of the current draft bill. The style of cooperation is open and appreciative in achieving consensus on security matters.
