Political Position
The political position moderately supports the move to denounce the treaty with Russia, emphasizing its justification within the geopolitical context (two years after Russia's invasion of Ukraine). The stance is value-driven, but it is balanced by concerns, as there is an acknowledgment that this direction is also problematic and involves risks.
