By Plenary Sessions: Rain Epler

There is insufficient data concerning social issues. Nevertheless, it is stressed that the ultimate goal of the state is the preservation of a free Estonian state, Estonian culture, and language.

The focus of social issues is on the demographic situation, emigration, and quality of life in Southeast Estonia, all of which are linked to inadequate infrastructure. Social retention in border areas is presented as being directly tied to ensuring national security, underscoring the necessity of improving living conditions.

The speaker opposes the introduction of gender quotas on private company boards, deeming it a naive and ineffective measure. They are skeptical of the climate hysteria, claiming it is a political tactic used to keep the public fearful and simplify governance.

On social issues, the speaker is clearly conservative, strongly opposing progressive ideology and the concept of gender plurality. He criticizes the Ministry of the Interior’s guidelines that allow officials to assign names to transgender individuals that do not correspond to their sex, viewing this as both a violation of the law and ideological pressure. He also opposes expanded definitions of gender discrimination and gender quotas in corporate management bodies.

Social issues are framed in the context of economic damage: [the speaker/text] criticizes the impact of the car tax on large families and rural residents, as well as the effect of tax increases on the poorer segment of society. It also mentions the removal of health insurance coverage from stay-at-home mothers and the abolition of the income tax exemption for children.
