On May 15, Deputy Minister of Social Welfare Clea Papaellina commemorated International Day of Families. She defined the family as any stable, supportive bond of love, moving beyond traditional or biological definitions. The Deputy Minister identified several contemporary challenges facing families, including financial pressure, time constraints, and demanding work schedules. She emphasized that the state maintains a responsibility to support parents through targeted policies, education, and social care initiatives.
