An attempted filibuster by the Reform Party of a bill to raise family benefits has failed, after the relevant committee tasked with examining over 1,600 amendments – from around 2,000 originally tabled – voted not to process them, by six votes to four.
Approximately 2,000 amendments have been submitted to the draft Family Benefits Act by the Reform Party to slow the bill's progress through the Riigikogu. The Center Party has agreed to hold extended sittings to process them.

The government will not collapse if Reform abandons its opposition to the draft family benefits bill and makes proposals to increase payments, EKRE chairman Martin Helme said on Tuesday.
