By Plenary Sessions: Signe Kivi

Kivi actively participates in committee work, presenting the questions and viewpoints of other members and collaborating with the committee chairman. Although he was appointed as the committee representative by consensus, he voted against the proposal to reject Tõnis Lukas’s draft bill, demonstrating a willingness to dissent while simultaneously supporting procedural order.

The speaker stressed the strong cross-factional cooperation, pointing out that the initiators of the draft legislation are members of the Estonia support group representing every faction in the Riigikogu (Estonian Parliament). He called for a civilized discussion and the reaching of compromises, bringing together the state, the City of Tallinn, the Estonian National Opera, and various creative individuals and admirers.

The collaborative style is appreciative and supportive, offering the minister praise for successfully completing a challenging task. The speaker is seeking constructive dialogue by inquiring about the extremes encountered in the minister’s work (both successes and failures).
