The quality and diversity of public broadcasting news in rural areas are being addressed as a social issue. There is strong opposition to cuts that threaten the equal coverage of Läänemaa and Hiiumaa, as well as the viability of the news program.

There is not enough data.

The socio-political focus centers on the socio-economic drivers behind the rise in crime, stressing that worsening conditions compel people to steal food and basic necessities. Critics are targeting the cuts to funding for extracurricular activities and the removal of family benefits, viewing these changes as directly linked to the deterioration of the social climate. They are demanding a comprehensive approach to criminal policy that takes socio-economic factors into account.

The main social issue revolves around the question of citizenship and loyalty, emphasizing the necessity of protecting the Estonian language and spirit. This places a strong focus on national identity and state security.
