By Plenary Sessions: Rene Kokk

The cooperation style is institutional, involving communication with the Minister during a parliamentary session regarding a legislative bill. The speaker's role is that of an information requester and a clarification seeker.

The speaker refers to collaboration with a colleague ("what Martin asked and what I also wanted to ask"), demonstrating shared interest and the coordination of questions on the given topic. There is absolutely no indication of a willingness to compromise with the minister; rather, it is an opposing position.

Cooperation is being sought rhetorically with the Social Democrats, urging them to support the lowering of VAT on foodstuffs by citing their previous slogans. Support is also mentioned from the Estonian Chamber of Agriculture and Commerce, which has likewise demanded a reduction in VAT.

The speaker concurs with the rapporteur on the necessity of reviewing the State Budget Framework Act, which signals a readiness to cooperate on this matter. However, there is no information available regarding broader cross-party cooperation.

The speaker acknowledges the common ground (or agreement) with the Prime Minister regarding the disclosure of the audit, but immediately adopts a demanding and skeptical stance. He/She requests a written, statute-based explanation from the Minister of Infrastructure detailing why the immediate release of the information is precluded, which demonstrates a readiness to cooperate only under conditions of strict oversight.

The speaker expresses the desire to achieve broad-based support (all deputies) regarding the draft bill concerning transparency, referencing an openness to finding consensus. At the same time, communication with the executive power is rather confrontational and demanding, emphasizing the Riigikogu’s position as the employer.

There is not enough data.
