Political Position
The political stance is heavily focused on social justice and improving the pay grade for frontline workers (police officers, rescuers). The speaker criticizes the government's budget priorities, which favor high earners (€4,000 and more) through the restoration of the tax-free minimum, rather than prioritizing pay raises for frontline staff. This position is value-driven and highly critical, expressing moral outrage over the government's choices.
