By Plenary Sessions: Helle-Moonika Helme

Among the social issues addressed are the integrity of the democratic process and the violation of constitutional freedoms (the principle of secrecy) in the context of e-elections. The focus is on the legitimacy of the state and citizens' trust in the system.

A strong emphasis is placed on the social crisis, especially the removal of livelihood support payments for disabled children, demonstrating concern for vulnerable groups. Additionally, a serious demographic crisis is highlighted, citing the low birth rate in Võru. In the healthcare field, the failure to consider patient satisfaction is criticized.

There is a lack of data.

The speaker’s primary focus is the social sector, stressing the security of elderly care and the rights of people with disabilities.

The speaker emphasizes the necessity of protecting the weakest and most vulnerable members of society.

The primary social focus centers on protecting the human rights of the elderly and the helpless, and the legal system’s capacity to ensure justice for them within the context of the Pihlakodu case.

Sharp social issues are being raised, criticizing the Minister of Social Affairs' inaction regarding "cases of starvation and rape of demented elderly people" in nursing homes.
