The primary social issue revolves around the well-being and care of the elderly, with strong support for the care reform, which has reduced the personal contribution required from individuals for nursing home expenses. It is emphasized that pensioners living alone in their own homes will not be left without assistance, and that social aid must be needs-based, accounting for the diverse requirements of different people. Furthermore, the importance of providing support to disabled individuals of retirement age is highlighted.
