The speaker is pragmatic regarding cooperation, noting that Parliament has usually chosen to amend bills sent back by the President or the Chancellor of Justice in order to avoid unnecessary disputes in the Supreme Court. At the same time, he/she is very demanding when it comes to protecting the rights of the opposition, challenging the interpretation of the Finance Committee, which could prevent opposition amendments from being voted on.
