Political Position
The political stance is one of critical scrutiny, centered on the differentiation between the "revenue minister" and the "expenditure ministers" introduced by the Minister of Finance. The most critical issue concerns the financial classification of major climate investments (2.6 billion for wind farms) within the overall strategy—specifically, whether they are classified as a revenue line or an expenditure line. The primary focus is on assessing the strategy's implementation and ensuring financial transparency.
