While emphasizing the need to improve the budget's format, they defend the current legislation and the commission's decisions, prioritizing fiscal responsibility and legislative correctness. They frame the budget as a "budget for building confidence."

The speaker adopts a policy-driven and cautious stance on budget reform, criticizing the poor preparation of the activity-based budget and the absence of strategic management. He supports a strategic results-based approach but warns against hastily reverting to a cost-based budget, stressing the necessity of a well-considered transition. His position is critical of the actions of previous governments that resulted in the "darkest" budget of 2020.
