By Plenary Sessions: Jaak Valge

At the forefront of social issues is strong opposition to mass immigration, which is linked to the failure of linguistic integration and problems concerning the use of the Estonian language in local councils. Concern is also expressed regarding the impartiality of the public service media (ERR), as observers note a strong left-liberal bias there at the expense of national conservatism.

The main social issue is immigration and the granting of asylum, with the emphasis placed on national security and control. The speaker questions the collective application for international protection by men of mobilization age and calls for stricter background checks. The importance of security and legal order is stressed over a broad humanitarian approach.

The primary social issue is public health and substance abuse, particularly the spread of HIV through syringes. The speaker emphasizes that the situation is serious, and the statistics paint a picture that is actually "much worse" than the number of drug-related deaths.

The primary social focus is on boosting the birth rate by offering partial student loan forgiveness for having children, viewing this as a strategic priority. Attention is also being drawn to gender imbalance in higher education, where the proportion of male students has dropped to 39%. This trend is linked to the low returns on education in the labor market. Furthermore, measures that facilitate the acquisition of Estonian citizenship are supported.

The central social problem is mass immigration, which is viewed as a threat leading to the erosion of national identity and cultural space. It is stressed that it is impossible to integrate immigrants at current volumes (the capacity for teaching the Estonian language is too limited), and indirect data is cited regarding the higher criminality and health risks associated with the foreign-born population.
