By Plenary Sessions: Urmas Reinsalu

The social impact is being addressed, citing the concerns of the Ukrainian community and compatriots of various nationalities regarding the ministerial candidate's previous statements. This is connected to consolidating the national ethos and security in order to prevent sending a misleading signal to Estonian society and the international community.

Regarding social issues, emphasis is placed on the lack of security felt among families with children (child benefits), teachers (salary increases), and the elderly. Specific attention is drawn to the difficulties people with disabilities face in making ends meet, and the concerns of pensioners in the context of rising taxes. This includes stressing the vital importance of a car as a means of transport for disability card holders.

This piece addresses social problems stemming from government policy decisions: the reduction of family benefits amidst a demographic crisis, the cancellation of the planned salary increase for teachers, and the ridiculously small increase in support payments for elderly people with disabilities. It also raises fundamental ethical questions, such as the failure to revoke voting rights from citizens of the aggressor state, and the postponement of language requirements necessary for the transition to Estonian-language education.

The speaker advocates for the financial well-being of the elderly and dismisses the proposal to cut pensions. Furthermore, they raise the question of security and values, prompted by the Ukrainian community's concern regarding a government member's foreign policy remarks.
