By Plenary Sessions: Helir-Valdor Seeder

The speaker calls for cross-party cooperation and consensus regarding the amendment of the constitution, stressing that this necessitates an outcome that transcends the coalition. He appeals directly to the personal understanding and conviction of the Riigikogu members. Simultaneously, he acknowledges the amendment proposed by the coalition deputies, which omitted the confusing delegation clause, thereby demonstrating a willingness to recognize constructive steps.

Cooperation is primarily envisioned with local governments (KOV) and county associations, emphasizing the necessity of involving them in decision-making processes (school reform, regional administration). The speaker criticizes the central government's failure to establish good cooperation with local municipalities. The Minister is asked not to view the criticism as destructive, but rather as concerns that require answers, which signals a desire for substantive dialogue.

The speaker referred to the cooperation within the Isamaa parliamentary group when initiating the draft bill, and noted that the Constitutional Committee reached a common understanding regarding the government's concerns. He is pragmatic, emphasizing consultation with representatives of the electoral commission to ensure the feasibility of the changes.

The speaker expresses a desire for cross-party cooperation on crucial issues, citing the need to find common ground on demographic matters and criticizing the government for rejecting the establishment of a dedicated ad hoc committee on the issue. He stresses that the Isamaa faction is seeking a new solution and the opportunity to form a better coalition within the current parliamentary composition. There is a complete lack of readiness to cooperate with the government.
