By Plenary Sessions: Peeter Ernits

The social focus is on the relationship between the government and the populace, criticizing the government’s blatant disregard for its own people and its failure to acknowledge their suffering. Particular emphasis is placed on the situation of rural residents, who are overlooked in energy planning and have effectively been left to bear the burden—the "sufferer."

The speaker supports the convention concerning women's rights but broadens the discussion to social injustice, stressing that a significant portion of the Estonian population has been abandoned by the state. He/She emphasizes the necessity of dealing with matters honestly and points out that men might also require similar protection against harassment.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of national historical memory and cultural representation, supporting the creation of a film about Arnold Rüütel, whom they refer to as "Estonia's most popular president." This indicates an appreciation for national narratives and the immortalization of popular historical figures.

There is too little data.

In the social sector, the Tobacco Directive and the prohibition of flavors (menthol, strawberry, cannabis flavor) are being addressed, the aim of which is to reduce the attractiveness of these products. This demonstrates an interest in public health and regulating consumer behavior. Furthermore, rhetoric related to gender is being discussed in the context of Kaja Kallas.

Instead of focusing on specific social topics, attention is drawn to a broader social problem: the relationship between the people and the government and the resulting lack of trust, which stems from the government's debilitating actions.

There is not enough data.

The speaker briefly mentions the fast-track adoption of the church law and the issue of voting rights, but their focus is on procedural deficiencies, rather than the substance of the social policy itself. They stress that this was an important matter that should have been addressed long ago, but they criticize the rushing and the failure to assess the risks involved.

Among the social issues, we address the potential impact of wind turbines on human health and cognitive functions (spatial awareness, memory), based on scientific research. Data regarding other traditional social topics is unavailable.

Social issues are viewed through the lens of economic sustainability, emphasizing the struggles faced by the Estonian people. The gender balance directive is considered a waste of time and a "substitute activity" that fails to address genuine socio-economic problems.

Insufficient data.
