By Plenary Sessions: Alar Laneman

Among social issues, the integrity and freedom of elections are emphasized as the cornerstone of a democratic society. This topic is linked to security, as distrust in elections jeopardizes the will to defend.

The primary social issues are connected to education and language policy, highlighting concerns regarding the preservation of Estonian language and culture within the education system. A question is being raised as to whether guaranteeing rights for Russian-speaking children has resulted in a decline in the quality of education for Estonian-speaking children.

Among the social issues, emphasis is placed on the position of believers and church members, and their potentially negative attitude toward the Estonian state, stemming from the timing of the political statement. The speaker is concerned about the loyalty of the community of believers and the resulting social division.
