MECh's foundation rests on a strict moral rigorism that rejects Bulgaria's current political class as fundamentally corrupt. Its ideology blends Christian-conservative values with a protectionist understanding of the state. The party views the populace as morally upright, while believing that institutions have been 'captured' by elites. Its vision of humanity is shaped by the idea of the vigilant citizen who prioritizes honor and national unity over ideological divides.
The party's agenda is heavily focused on comprehensive judicial reform and dismantling oligarchic structures. MECh advocates for draconian penalties for abuse of office and stronger state control over strategic economic sectors. Its target audience primarily includes those disenfranchised by modernization, frustrated protest voters, and conservative circles who perceive established right-wing parties as too compromising towards the West or local networks. In foreign policy, the party champions a strict 'Bulgaria First' line, prioritizing national sovereignty over EU integration.
Within the political system, MECh operates as a radical force, often positioned at the fringes of parliamentary discourse. Its strategy aims to undermine trust in the existing representative democracy to pave the way for a more authoritarian, direct-democratic model. The party's relationship with the rule of law is ambivalent: while demanding judicial independence from politics, they employ rhetoric that delegitimizes institutions when these do not align with the 'will of the people'.
