The speaker stresses the crucial importance of being willing to compromise, pointing out that the initiators of the second draft bill (Isamaa and EKRE) were prepared to negotiate and make amendments. He criticizes the coalition for its inability to cooperate, noting that they failed to seize the opportunity to advance both bills in order to find the best solution. He sees potential for collaboration, provided it results in improved legislation.
