By Plenary Sessions: Anastassia Kovalenko-Kõlvart

A strong emphasis is placed on individual privacy and data protection; it criticizes widespread surveillance and the blurring of faces, stressing the protection of fundamental human rights and the ethical and lawful use of data. The critique also centers on the need for democratic and transparent procedures.

The core focus is the protection of consumers, human health, and safety; it stresses that unregulated or inconsistent regulation compromises safety and results in further costs for consumers and taxpayers.

The social agenda plays a central role in protecting privacy and individual rights, as well as ensuring family and child welfare. Emphasis is placed on the necessity of reviewing mechanisms related to school meal subsidies and food VAT, alongside providing state support to improve the resilience and coping abilities of vulnerable families. There is an ongoing discussion regarding the financial burden placed on parents and the corresponding need for adequate external state assistance for school meals to safeguard children's health and development. Particular importance is attached to protecting individual freedoms and fundamental values, and the necessity of state intervention within the social sphere.

This encompasses the equitable handling of public sector labor costs and the distribution of incentive packages across various professional fields (e.g., teachers, rescue workers, caregivers, nurses). Furthermore, it criticizes the existing distribution of salaries and benefits, emphasizing the need for equitable allocation and fair partnership with respect to public sector employees.

Not enough data

The text addresses the broader impact on people: quality of life declines, the ability to cope financially deteriorates, and confidence and trust within social networks decrease. It highlights the negative effects that the care reform, the additional costs associated with education funding, and the elimination of free public transport have on residents in rural areas and small municipalities. Furthermore, it criticizes the influence of the tax burden on decisions made at the central level.

Insufficient data; social issues such as education, LGBT rights, immigration, or other related social topics are not covered.

The speech addresses the workload faced by young workers and schoolchildren; it emphasizes the need for improved labor policies and better youth engagement. It criticizes government priorities that risk increasing this burden, and calls for a debate on balancing the integration of foreign labor with the promotion of the local youth workforce. It does not broadly cover tangential issues or large subsidy debates, focusing instead on the social aspects of labor and education.

The text emphasizes issues concerning social risks and benefits: it criticizes the impact of taxation and general policy on families with children, and deepens concern regarding the situation of disabled people, pensioners, and rural residents. It is critical of the support provided to large families and the changes made to the ceiling of parental benefits, while simultaneously demonstrating the necessity of ensuring health insurance coverage and financial stability. It affirms the principles of social justice and the need to guarantee affordable support and access to services for those in need, particularly concerning healthcare and basic sustenance.

The link between the youth workforce and education is central: the lack of vocational education among young people is cited as a potential cause of unemployment, and the general social impact and accessibility of education are emphasized. The speeches highlight the necessity of addressing the youth employment issue as a social phenomenon, but specific measures are absent.

Social priorities encompass children's health and support for school sports, addressing the specific needs of people with disabilities, and protecting children and families. The platform takes a strong stance on taxes that disproportionately affect the most vulnerable groups (those living in rural areas and low-income families). Furthermore, emphasis is placed on animal welfare (including a pet register) and the need to ensure better management of animal shelters and urban areas.
