By Plenary Sessions: Helir-Valdor Seeder

The main social issue is integration and citizenship policy, which is addressed in the context of security and national identity. The speaker believes that restricting voting rights motivates individuals with undetermined citizenship to acquire Estonian citizenship, learn the Estonian language, and become conscious citizens. He/She pointed out that integration forecasts have failed because the number of individuals with undetermined citizenship has remained high and many have acquired Russian citizenship.

In the social sector, the focus is placed on supporting and specializing schools for children with special educational needs, while expressing skepticism regarding the current implementation of inclusive education. Emphasis is placed on the social and economic burden faced by rural families, stemming from poor public transport and the car tax. There is a demand for the state to resolve the unfair funding of student transport, where local governments in sparsely populated areas are forced to cover the costs themselves.

Insufficient data

The speaker focuses on the crises in education policy—specifically the merging of schools for children with special educational needs (SEN) without consulting the relevant stakeholders—and demography/family policy, accusing the government of ignoring the record-low birth rate. He emphasizes internal security in relation to the issue of suffrage and criticizes the constitutional amendment that would permanently enshrine voting rights for stateless persons. The reduction in pensioners' incomes is viewed as a form of social injustice.

Not enough data.
