By Plenary Sessions: Urmas Reinsalu

The speaker cites criticism from various interest groups—specifically professional economic organizations, associations advocating for environmental interests, and academic expertise—all of which supports his position. No direct cooperation with other political forces or willingness to compromise is apparent from the speeches.

Although the speaker is highly critical of the coalition, he calls for seeking "common ground" regarding the constitutional amendment bills, specifically asking the coalition to allow the Isamaa bill to remain in the legislative process. This cooperation is conditional and requires the coalition partners to abandon the agreement reached under pressure from the Social Democrats, thereby allowing Parliament to freely form its position. He stresses that Isamaa remains open to finding a substantive solution based on both proposed bills.

There is no evidence of cooperation or a willingness to compromise; the speaker operates strictly as an opposition watchdog, demanding explanations from the government. Interactions with the Speaker of the Riigikogu are primarily procedural—aimed at ensuring that questions are answered—rather than collaborative.

Insufficient data

The speaker is ready in principle to support technical draft legislation (e.g., the amendment to the Land Register Act) and calls upon the ruling coalition for dialogue and the search for common ground, but only on the condition that the government abandons its misguided budget choices. He emphasizes that Isamaa, upon coming to power, will not stoop to the current coalition's level of canceling out political alternatives.

The speaker emphasizes Isamaa's unambiguous stance and calls on all political forces to support the repeal of the tax hikes. He points to widespread support from various interest groups (businesses, farmers, homeowners), all of whom opposed the legislation. Although extra time was granted to the opposition in the interest of parliamentary culture, the overall tone remains confrontational and uncompromising on the issue of tax increases.

The speaker stresses the necessity of genuine dialogue in parliament and calls on parliament to support Isamaa's proposal to abolish the car tax. He references the alternative budget concept developed by Isamaa in collaboration with experts. At the same time, he notes that the government coalition's previous track record demonstrates the imposition of policy, which suggests a lack of willingness to compromise on the part of the government.

The speaker presents Isamaa as an alternative force, highlighting that they have put forward a rational alternative budget and proposed legislation aimed at abolishing taxes. He stresses the importance of cooperation with stakeholders, actively supporting the protests organized by business organizations and associations representing families with children. On the international front, he sees a need for an agreement among European nations—one that carries sufficient weight—to revise European Union law.
