By Plenary Sessions: Eero Merilind

The political stance centers on summarizing the proceedings and debate regarding the bill to raise the subsistence level, delivered in the capacity of the rapporteur for the Social Affairs Committee. The speaker neutrally presents both the Social Democratic Party’s proposal to raise the limit to 300 euros, and the government’s limited fiscal capabilities and planned increase to 220 euros. The primary focus is on social welfare and securing a livelihood, although the delivery is more procedural than value-driven.
