The political stance is firmly focused on fulfilling international defense commitments, specifically by supporting the extension of the deployment period for up to three defense personnel serving in the European Union mission in Mozambique until the end of 2026. The rationale for supporting this draft legislation is both political and professional, stressing the importance of providing junior officers with experience in the tactical command of operations. This approach is clearly policy-driven and centered on the state meeting its international obligations.
