The speaker calls for cooperation and dialogue among all parliamentary forces who are at least partially prepared to support the constitutional amendment initiative. This cooperation is conditional and aimed at achieving an agreement of substantive quality. At the same time, he demands that the Social Democrats abandon the coalition agreement so that representatives of the Reform Party and Eesti 200 would be allowed to vote according to their best judgment.

The speaker's parliamentary group (Isamaa) supports the completion of the first reading of the bill, but this support is conditional and linked to sharp criticism regarding the lack of clarity in the proposed solution. He/She calls on the Social Democrats to release other coalition MPs from the "hostage oath" to enable substantive, cross-party voting on security issues that is deemed appropriate.

The speaker emphasizes that the motion of no confidence is supported by "political forces with different views" from the opposition, but stresses that this does not constitute a joint action program. There is no willingness to cooperate with the government; rather, coalition members are urged to abstain from voting on the grounds of political responsibility. Regarding the government's energy policy, the alternative proposed is to adopt the draft action plan presented by Isamaa as a basis.
