The primary social issue revolves around education and the maintenance of community schools in rural areas, a topic examined within the context of demographic shifts and internal migration. Emphasis is placed on the vital role community schools play in supporting families and the necessity of guaranteeing children a short and safe commute to school, particularly for those in primary education. The discussion also touches upon the transition to Estonian-medium instruction and the corresponding role of local councils in managing this process.

Mass immigration is at the forefront of social issues, being treated as a major threat to future societal stability and security. The need for extreme caution is emphasized to prevent the emergence of fragmented societal problems, similar to those seen in Sweden and Germany. Demographic trends are presented negatively, suggesting they will cause future hardship.

Social integration is strongly emphasized, noting that a large portion of the people living here are not integrated, either linguistically or mentally. This social failure is the main argument against raising the immigration quota.

The primary focus is on population policy and integration, emphasizing that population policy forms the basis for defense and the economy. It strongly supports the transition to Estonian-language instruction, defining integration as the adoption of Estonian language and culture. It criticizes the withdrawal of funding for extracurricular activities from large families.
