Opposition Stance
Defends the heritage protection restrictions and their preservation; specific opponents are not named in the opposition, the focus is instead placed on the threat to restrictions resulting from the bill's proposed relaxations, treating this as a matter of policy. Intensity: strong, especially when discussing the possibility of disregarding restrictions depending on the ruling coalition.

Collaboration Style
There are no clearly defined mechanisms for cooperation or compromise; the reference to a colleague and the minister's proposal suggests potential, yet vague, collaboration. A firm coalition or bipartisan framework is not established.

Legislative Focus
The main focus of the discussion is the first reading of the draft bill, which aims to find a solution for constructing the annex to the National Opera Estonia. At the same time, emphasis is placed on maintaining heritage protection, and warnings are issued against changes that would affect existing restrictions. The core issue is the validity of these restrictions and their potential relaxation—these possibilities for modification are being critically examined within the context of the draft bill.
