On Monday, the Riigikogu failed to approve the week's plan. There were 46 MPs in favor and 46 against. This meant that the plan did not pass.
To resolve the situation, Riigikogu leader Lauri Hussar took 15 minutes. He discussed with the board what to do.
Before the vote, MPs expressed their opinions. Many were upset because the prime minister did not answer MPs' questions on time.
Social Democratic leader Lauri Läänemets said that the opposition was angry. The reason was that the government did not allow the creation of a new committee on national defense. They placed it as the tenth item on the agenda.
Läänemets said: "The government placed it on Wednesday night. The Social Democrats suggested it be done first. The majority in the hall thought it was very important for Estonia. Therefore, it should be the first item. Since this was not done, there were not enough people who would agree with the plan."
After the plan failed, Riigikogu leaders discussed the situation. They decided that on Wednesday, the creation of the committee would be moved to the first item.
After that, the Riigikogu reconvened. This time, 87 MPs were in favor of the plan, and only one was against.
