The political stance is heavily focused on national security and legal propriety, demanding the disenfranchisement of citizens and stateless persons originating from the aggressor state in local elections.

These positions are strongly value-based, highlighting the failure of the integration expectations set in 1992 and stressing the necessity of correcting this historical error. The speaker views the coalition as being held hostage by the social democrats, who are obstructing decisions that align with the state's security interests.
