Insufficient data

There is not enough data.

The only social issue addressed is the taxation of pensions, where the speaker advocates for maintaining the income tax exemption on the average pension. This is linked more closely to fiscal policy and the issue of voter confidence.

In social issues, the dominant theme is opposition to abortion, demanding full constitutional protection for the right to life of unborn children and the cessation of state funding. Additionally, emphasis is placed on the need to establish support structures for women experiencing pregnancy crises, and accountability is demanded for the mistreatment of the elderly that occurred in the nursing home.

Insufficient data.

Regarding social issues, justified concern over mass immigration and the birth rate is highlighted. These topics are framed within the context of national security and the future, even though they receive less attention than the threat of war.

Central among social issues is the definition of marriage, where the speaker emphasizes the desire to restore the traditional union ("a union between a man and a woman"). This issue directly concerns LGBTQ+ rights and the possibility of reversing their legal status, making it strongly value-driven.

There is a strong emphasis on civil rights and freedoms, especially ensuring the principles of equal treatment and non-discrimination. The speaker defends the principle of the presumption of innocence in a situation where banks close accounts without proof of wrongdoing or even an accusation.

The speaker expresses strong opposition to the redefinition of marriage, calling it a desecration and stating that the state marriage certificate has lost all value in his eyes. He also touched upon the balance between convenience and civic duty, criticizing the tendency to prioritize comfort and ease over reliability and trustworthiness.

Not enough data

Data on social issues is missing. The focus is entirely on legal, security, and foreign policy issues.

The primary social issue is the disintegration of democratic social order and political culture, which is measured by the low level of public trust in the honesty of elections. The speaker emphasizes that democracy must be real, not merely declarative.

The primary social theme is the preservation of Estonian identity, language, and culture, which is treated as the state's constitutional duty. Furthermore, administrative problems within the education system are being addressed, issues that affected thousands of applicants to state secondary schools.

The primary social issue is religious freedom and the offense caused to the feelings of Orthodox believers. The speaker warns that the government's actions and threats (such as closing a monastery) could escalate ethnic tensions and increase the likelihood of a potential national conflict in Estonia. It is emphasized that religious organizations should not be shut down based on potential activities, but rather on proven illegal acts.
