The speaker is highly critical of the Foreign Minister and their political party, citing sources of corruption and donations made to Ukraine, which, in their view, are influencing political decisions. Their stance is oppositional and value-driven: concentrating on enhancing transparency, ethics, and the overall quality of the debate; they do not, however, present any specific policy plans.
