Lack of Data. The discussions focus exclusively on topics related to energy and the economy.

In the social policy sphere, the question of the right of entry is being addressed, standing firmly against a paradigmatic shift that would grant all individuals a subjective right to enter Estonia, subjecting this right to judicial review. This is viewed as a security threat and the elimination of the state's executive discretionary authority, which contradicts the long-standing position of Estonian security institutions.

Social topics covered include the impact of inflation on purchasing power and the level of the minimum wage. It is noted that the net purchasing power of working people and pensioners is decreasing, and reference is made to Eurostat data indicating that Estonia’s minimum wage is the lowest in the EU when adjusted for purchasing power parity.

The central social issue is the birth rate crisis, which the government has completely ignored, despite the rate being the lowest this century. Emphasis is placed on the need to ensure the security of families and the continuation of the nation, while accusing the government of systematically undermining the sense of security for families.

Not enough data.

The focus is on social well-being and the protection of individual liberties, particularly the plight of the elderly who are being hit by tax hikes. The government's policy is criticized for forcing people into difficult choices concerning the use of their property and the exercise of their freedom of movement, labeling this a restriction of freedom.

The social focus centers on the well-being and protection of the purchasing power of the elderly, emphasizing that high inflation is currently outpacing pension increases, which is degrading their quality of life. Furthermore, it is stressed that the combined effect of tax increases and inflation will diminish the purchasing power of working individuals by year-end.
