Political Position
This political stance centers on defending national sovereignty regarding immigration policy, fiercely resisting pressure from Brussels and the attempts by European elites to throw the doors wide open. The speaker opposes a particularly egregious draft bill (concerning the challenging of visa decisions) and argues that the state must demonstrate resolve and reject the regulation, even if threatened with penalties. This position is strongly rooted in values, underscoring the nation's right to make sovereign choices.
