Political Position
The most important issue is the function and the need for reform of the Supervisory Body for the Financing of Political Parties (ERJK). The speaker strongly objects to the ERJK’s current activities, calling its decisions biased and unfair. The political stance favors improving the existing system and maintaining self-regulation, rather than transferring these functions to the National Audit Office.

Rhetorical Style
The style is critical and argumentative, employing strong language (such as "ridiculous decisions") when describing the activities of the ERJK. However, the approach to the proposals themselves is reserved and logical, questioning the overall expediency of the reform. The address is directed at the rapporteur and maintains a formal tone, yet it incorporates emotional judgments.
