Political Position
The political position is strongly critical of the current activities of the Committee for the Supervision of Party Financing (ERJK). The speaker emphasizes that the ERJK has lost its focus, is dealing with ridiculous issues, and is ineffective in resolving systemic cases—it "lacks teeth" (literally: "dull teeth"). The focus is on results-based criticism, which points to the inactivity of officials and systemic failure.
