Presidential candidates overlook aging and end-of-life care as a political issue

The issue of aging and end-of-life care is largely absent from presidential campaigns, seen as a politically unappealing topic. Despite promises made in 2017, President Macron's "grand age" plan has been repeatedly postponed, leaving critical shortages in elder care facilities and strained family resources. This inaction highlights a lack of political courage and foresight, as the demographic reality of an aging population continues to advance without delay.
