The main social issue is the economic survival of pensioners and protecting them from tax hikes, especially in connection with the abolition of the income tax exemption for pensions.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, information briefing
The main social issue is the protection of Estonian-language education and national identity, standing in sharp opposition to the government's education policy, which is allegedly Russifying Estonian children. Furthermore, immigration—specifically the continued presence of 90,000 Russian-speaking Ukrainian refugees in Estonia—is framed as a massive drain on resources and a threat posed at the expense of the native population.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary session.
From a socio-political standpoint, the focus is on defending the nation-state and Estonian identity, sharply opposing mass migration and internationalism. Skepticism is expressed regarding integration, with the argument that proficiency in the Estonian language neither guarantees loyalty nor resolves segregation. The question of the moral example and suitability of teachers who have entered the education system is also raised.
