The 2024 Report by the Minister of Social Protection on the Implementation of the State's Long-Term Development Strategy "Estonia 2035"

Fifteenth Riigikogu, third session, plenary session

The culture of cooperation appears restricted: presentations emphasize issues of expedient control and accountability, as well as the review of coalition declarations. Clear, announced partnership or cooperation initiatives are missing, but a weak, multifaceted dialogue and discussion do exist—there are calls to “review this decision” and an emphasis on the need to discuss. This may point more towards reforms and oversight rather than close bipartisan cooperation.
