The focus is on children's health, nutrition, and physical activity habits. Emphasis is placed on the broader impact of the school lunch subsidy (the current support is one euro) and the potential for reducing the VAT on root and vegetables to improve the health of young people. Additionally, prevention and equity in the distribution of dental care benefits are addressed, as well as the shortcomings in assessing the impact of the hospital network and healthcare prevention activities.

The overall emphasis is placed on social equality and the right of citizens to expect the state to look after its most vulnerable members.

The focus is on social impacts: low-income families, pensioners, large families, and residents of rural areas, whose financial burden will be increased by the car tax. Emphasis is placed on fairness and a balanced social impact. The sociological consequences of the regulatory solutions chosen are criticized, and an attempt is made to highlight how taxes might affect language and livelihood.

The text focuses on legal certainty and the principle of legitimate expectation, emphasizing that tax changes must be implemented fairly so they do not unduly burden the most vulnerable groups—namely, large families, pensioners, and rural residents. It draws a comparison regarding the status of sports and youth subsidies, stressing the importance of preserving cultural and social well-being during challenging times. Furthermore, it encompasses ethical values such as justice and equality, and highlights the necessity of maintaining public trust in the state.
