Political Position
The political position strongly focuses on the issue of the security and reliability of e-elections, supporting the formation of an investigative commission. This stance is motivated by alleged procedural violations and anomalies (e.g., the destruction of evidence and the inconsistency regarding the Reform Party's e-votes). The focus is outcome-based, demanding specific consequences, such as the preservation of evidence. This is a strong position aimed at ensuring procedural integrity.
