By Plenary Sessions: Lauri Läänemets

The speaker positively references the previous cooperation model proposed by the Social Democrats in the coalition with the Reform Party and Isamaa, stressing the need to increase added value and reduce the volume of logging. This demonstrates an openness to collaboration that balances the economy and nature conservation.

There is too little data.

The speaker identifies as a Social Democrat and references earlier coalition negotiations during which proposals were made to the Reform Party regarding increasing the added value of the forestry sector. Although the current tone is strongly oppositional, the speaker offers concrete solutions (reducing logging volumes, increasing added value) that could serve as the foundation for sensible governance.

Insufficient information.

The speaker is open to cooperation regarding the details of the bill, supporting a serious discussion of the President's remarks and the identification of the best possible amendments. This readiness to cooperate is, however, conditional: the core objective of the law (security and the elimination of subordination to the Kremlin) must remain intact.

The speaker highlights previous achievements made while in the coalition (e.g., the care reform, the doubling of student support payments) and offers cooperation from the opposition in the current situation, calling on the government to merge its draft bill with the one submitted by the Social Democrats. The government is also criticized for ignoring labor market stakeholders (trade unions), with the speaker stressing the importance of their inclusion.

Insufficient data.

The speaker highlighted the Social Democrats' past achievements (namely, preventing pension cuts) and presented the regional industrial policy plan developed by the SDE, urging the Minister of Regional Affairs to push it through within the coalition. This demonstrates a willingness to cooperate, provided it serves the SDE’s political objectives and regional development.
