By Plenary Sessions: Jaak Valge

Among social issues, we are only addressing the livelihood of pensioners and the value of their pensions, which has actually decreased in real terms due to inflation. The objective is to ensure that the growth of social benefits is genuinely real.

The main social issue is the sharp increase in the rate of elective abortions, which the speaker considers "very sad statistics." The speaker expresses strong concern about this trend and demands that the government take measures to support the birth rate and reduce the number of terminations.

The primary social issue is the erosion of public trust in election results, which is linked to the lack of transparency surrounding e-voting. This is framed as a problem that threatens the core of democracy, citing studies by Norstat and the Skytte Institute regarding nearly 40% distrust.

The central social issue is the status of the Estonian language and integration. It strongly urges the cessation of mass immigration to ensure improved proficiency in Estonian, and supports the transition to Estonian-language education in schools. It emphasizes the need to raise the prestige of the Estonian language and make the public sphere Estonian-speaking.

From a sociopolitical standpoint, the speaker is strongly opposed to homo- and gender-ideological propaganda among children, defending regulations that prohibit it. Concern is also expressed regarding uncontrolled immigration (12,400 "non-Estonian speakers" annually) and its impact on the unified Estonian-language school system. The demographic crisis is highlighted as a pressing issue.

The central social issue is the education of Ukrainian war refugees, where there is strong support for preserving the Ukrainian language and national identity through Ukrainian-language schools. There is opposition to the unethical and ineffective practice of directing these students into foreign-language schools, with warnings that this leads to the students' social alienation and an increase in criminogenic risk. It is emphasized that this is a special situation that requires exceptions.

The speaker is strongly conservative on socio-political issues, opposing the current "left-wing stance that encourages homosexuality and devalues the family," while emphasizing the importance of the natural family. The rising abortion rate is raised as a concern, and stricter alcohol policies (sales restrictions) are demanded to improve the birth rate and the number of healthy life years.
