The primary social theme is access to justice and the provision of legal aid, pointing out that many individuals are effectively left without legal assistance. This underscores the concern regarding social inequality in the use of the judicial system.

The main social issue is securing funding for the treatment of addicts and the work carried out with them, as the existing funding is set to expire in 2026. The speaker expressed concern that a tax reduction could increase the number of users, while the resources needed to work with them are lacking. According to the speaker, solving these social problems requires legislative intervention and financial certainty.

The social sector is the primary focus, with the speaker serving as a strong advocate for the rights of people with disabilities, criticizing insufficient support payments (specifically, the 15-cent increase) and demanding tax relief. Attention is also drawn to the plight of individuals dealing with mental health issues and their caregivers ("angel workers"). The speaker stresses that, according to the constitution, people with disabilities are entitled to special protection.

The primary social issue is alleviating poverty and ensuring a basic standard of living for those in the most difficult circumstances, such as recipients of the national pension and minimum wage earners. Emphasis is placed on the need for targeted and documented social assistance to ensure that aid reaches those who need it most. Furthermore, the urgent need for funding for special welfare services (59 million euros) is highlighted.

Regarding social issues, attention is drawn to security and prisoner-related risks, emphasizing the need to avoid major dangers and problems when concluding the agreement. The focus is rather on security and risk management aspects connected to the issue of prisoner repatriation.

A strong focus is placed on social issues, particularly the coping difficulties faced by the elderly, single parents, and people with disabilities. It highlights the crisis in specialized social care, the problem of long waiting lists, and the burnout experienced by informal caregivers. The text also raises the issue of the discontinuation of support for children's extracurricular activities and mental health problems, linking these concerns to the need for a unified government family policy.
