Political Position
The most important topic is the demographic crisis and the ineffectiveness of family policy. The speaker sharply criticizes the government's actions, emphasizing that despite the distribution of subsidies, there are no results, and the birth rate is declining. The political framework is clearly results-based and critical of the government's activities. Family policy is also treated as a factor influencing security.
