By Plenary Sessions: Riina Solman

The focus is on national legislative issues (voting rights, family policy) and international security (the voting rights of Russian and Belarusian citizens). A regional focus is lacking.

The regional focus is on supporting rural areas, coupled with sharp criticism of the shrinking school network, which undermines regional policy and internal security. Furthermore, emphasis was placed on making support for children's extracurricular activities needs-based, particularly for families residing in rural areas.

The speaker highlights the situation in rural areas, noting that the cut in funding for extracurricular activities specifically hit those regions where such activities are already harder to access. It is also emphasized that the car tax will disproportionately affect families raising children in rural areas, who are dependent on their vehicles.

The regional focus is directed towards rural areas, stressing that the car tax will disproportionately affect families with children where the public transport network is inadequate or completely nonexistent. In rural areas, a car is a vital necessity for accessing work, school, and healthcare services.

A strong regional focus is placed on the security of supply in rural areas, criticizing the government's decision to cancel investments intended for upgrading the electricity grid, a move that left rural residents without power for weeks. Attention is also drawn to the social repercussions in Ida-Virumaa stemming from the accelerated phase-out of oil shale energy.
