Regarding social issues, the principles of equality and the reduction of the wage gap have been highlighted. The speaker supports these steps but demands a sufficient pace for implementing the changes and keeps a close eye on the matter.

The primary social issue is the equal accessibility of healthcare and ensuring social justice, regardless of geographical location. The speaker opposes policies that increase the out-of-pocket costs for people living in rural areas or effectively turn accessing services into a punishment for them.

The most important social topics are the well-being of children and families, supporting the birth rate, combining work and family life, and fostering a caring society. Emphasis is placed on the accessibility of mental health services, flexible childcare, and the availability of specialized care, highlighting the concerns faced by single parents and caregivers of children with special needs.
