Political Position
The political position strongly focuses on procedural transparency and accountability, demanding the disclosure and availability of the opinion provided by the law firm consulted for advice. This is a results-based approach that emphasizes the proper documentation and sharing of materials. The stance is moderately critical of the rapporteur, who referenced an opinion that has not been shared.
