The speaker is attempting to build rapport with the Foreign Minister, recalling their successful prior cooperation within the ranks of Isamaa on the issue of supporting large families. However, it is simultaneously stressed that the opposition is prepared to back the suspension of electoral rights, citing internal coalition resistance as the sole remaining obstacle. This willingness to cooperate is conditional and linked to specific political objectives.

A willingness to cooperate with the government is not apparent; instead, emphasis is placed on the government’s refusal to listen to the opposition and the association of large families, whose pleas for assistance have fallen on "deaf ears." The speaker relies heavily on the research and positions of the association of large families, representing their interests in the Riigikogu (Parliament). They condemn the government's actions, which present people with disabilities with a fait accompli, forcing them to accept minimal support payments.

The speaker urges greater parliamentary cooperation in resolving security matters so that the Riigikogu can jointly address the issue of electoral rights.
