Political Position
The most crucial issue is the establishment of national-level requirements for new constructions to ensure sheltering options (such as a garage or basement). The political position is moderately pro-regulation, specifically asking the minister for a concrete plan to implement these requirements, which suggests a policy-driven approach. The objective is to enhance the nation's preparedness and residents' security through updated building standards.
