By Plenary Sessions: Aleksei Jevgrafov

The main social issues are integration, Estonian-language education, and civil rights. The speaker is strongly opposed to restricting the voting rights of 150,000 people, viewing it as humiliating and second-class treatment. Criticism is also directed at the transition to Estonian-language instruction when schools are unprepared, and the removal of rights (including the right to bear arms and the right to pray) is mentioned.

Regarding social issues, emphasis is placed on the humanitarian problems that arise from the severing of family ties when the border is closed. The opportunity for Russians who do not support Putin’s policies to flee to Estonia or elsewhere in Europe is also defended. The speaker opposes steps that escalate tensions in Ida-Virumaa, such as campaigns against the Estonian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate.
