By Months: Katrin Kuusemäe

The collaborative approach is aimed at supporting the government's policy by posing a question to the minister that confirms and justifies the 2026 budget reforms. There is no evidence of cooperation with opposition parties.

The cooperation style is evident within the Constitutional Committee, where procedural decisions (e.g., placing a draft bill on the agenda) were made by consensus. He/She mentions that the Chancellery of the Riigikogu has a Legal and Analysis Department available that can assist the parliamentary groups in conducting analyses. He/She also mentions the replacement of colleague Lauri Laats in the role of rapporteur, which indicates internal coordination within the committee.

The cooperation style is institutional, as he acts as the rapporteur for the Constitutional Committee and represents the decision of the committee majority (6 members) to reject the draft bill. He refers to the participation of ministry representatives (Ministry of Climate, Ministry of Finance) in the committee discussions.

Kuusemäe demonstrates cooperation by voting in the Constitutional Committee with a wide majority (6 members, including Joller, Suslov, Terras, and Odinets) in favor of rejecting the draft bill. His appointment as rapporteur was made by a consensus decision of the committee.

The style of cooperation is institutional and procedure-focused, reflecting the internal discussions and votes of the Constitutional Committee. He conveys the views of the Government representative (Kaidi Meristo), demonstrating cooperation with the executive branch within the framework of the legislative process. He clearly distinguishes the committee's positions from personal opinion, offering personal discussion only after the official session.
