The primary social issue revolves around the welfare of the elderly and age discrimination concerning pension entitlements and social benefits. Emphasis is placed on the need to protect the sick, the poor, and the lonely elderly, whose lives are made difficult by government policies that require them to purchase expensive medications. Social policy is framed as a moral obligation owed to the generation that has served.

The sociopolitical focus is heavily directed toward the demographic crisis, demanding an end to state funding for abortions. Abortion is treated as morally extremely negative, being labeled as murder and rejecting the argument of bodily autonomy while stressing the existence of a second life. Emphasis is placed on the state's obligation to contribute to the growth of the Estonian nation.

The main social theme is immigration and integration, with deep concern being expressed regarding the number of arriving Ukrainians and their ambiguous status (referred to as "a loose crowd"). There is a strong emphasis on the need to protect the nation-state, given that integration has failed over the course of 30 years. Separately highlighted is the fact that Ukrainians are "oddly arriving through Russia."
