15th Riigikogu, 6th sitting, plenary session
Regarding social issues, the low birth rate in Estonia is briefly mentioned, linking it to criticism of the government's debt policy—the argument being that the debts will be left for someone else, not our children. This is primarily a rhetorical tool used to criticize the government's earlier alarmist pronouncements. Other social matters (education, healthcare, immigration) are not addressed.

15th Estonian Parliament, 6th sitting, press briefing
It briefly mentions demographic issues and sharply criticizes a government member (Jürgen Ligi) for insulting women in parliament. This social topic is being used to discredit the Reform Party's moral authority, arguing that they have no right to talk about protecting women.

15th Riigikogu, 6th sitting, plenary session
In the social sector, the withdrawal of child benefits is facing criticism. The overall social framework highlights the government's lack of both a moral mandate and a mandate granted by voters when making crucial decisions (like tax increases or entering a war).

Emphasis is placed on the abandonment of the social sector, driven by the minister's personal comfort, and the crisis in healthcare accessibility, particularly in the form of long treatment waiting lists, which violate the sense of fairness. The minister is also strongly criticized for intolerance and an alleged anti-science stance regarding the COVID-19 narrative and the dissemination of misinformation.
