Data is scarce.

Regarding social issues, the importance of popular initiatives and public expectations in the legislative process is emphasized. The issue of VAT reduction is addressed as a human concern that affects consumers, and one to which the Riigikogu must urgently respond.

A strong focus on social justice and the protection of vulnerable groups, particularly concerning people with disabilities (special provisions for car tax) and children (access to medical treatment). It strongly emphasizes the protection of citizens' fundamental rights and freedoms against state surveillance and control, opposing initiatives by the Ministry of the Interior that restrict demonstrations or increase data collection.

The primary social issue is the safety of children and the public when using light personal vehicles (e-scooters), citing severe traffic accidents that have occurred involving children. [The discussion] calls for age verification, regulation of helmet use, and the establishment of a cap on the number of rentable vehicles.

The issue of public safety and emergency services is also indirectly raised, criticizing the closure of the Kopli fire station despite the fact that the necessary funds were actually available. This points to concerns about the funding and accessibility of essential public services.

The social focus is on the protection of people with disabilities and families with children, emphasizing that people with disabilities must be granted exceptions to the car tax, in line with the constitutional requirement for special care. The government is being criticized for cutting benefits for large families, lowering the ceiling on parental benefits, and revoking health insurance from stay-at-home mothers.
