By Plenary Sessions: Eero Merilind

The political focus is on the amendment to the Social Welfare Act (Bill 508), which concerns ending the payment of the single pensioner's benefit to pensioners residing in care homes. The speaker defends the amendment, citing the required budget cut (1.35 million euros) while simultaneously emphasizing the state's significant contribution to the care reform (65 million euros). The framework of the care reform is policy- and results-based, emphasizing the funding relationship between the state and local governments.

The political position centers on evaluating the impact of socio-political bills, particularly regarding women's rights and equality within society. The speaker adopts a critical and inquisitive stance, challenging the presenter's grasp of complex social definitions, such as free will in the context of abortion. This constitutes a value-based framework that focuses heavily on the specifics and details of the policy.
