The social focus is directed toward protecting large families and people with disabilities, who are treated unequally by law. It is emphasized that the state must ensure they receive special care, pursuant to Article 28 of the Constitution. An example given is that the tax on a seven-seater minivan—a necessity for large families—is many times higher than the tax imposed on some old, polluting car.

Furthermore, the discussion takes an ironic and critical look at the issue of gender identity changes among council members, calling the corresponding bill absurd and impractical.
