The party's foundation is built on a libertarian-leaning conservatism that views the automobile as the ultimate symbol of personal freedom. Its worldview is characterized by a rejection of state interventions that, under the guise of environmental protection, restrict citizens' way of life. The party sees itself as a bulwark against 'green fanaticism,' defending Czechia's industrial tradition and the right to private property against supranational directives.
The party's agenda heavily focuses on reversing bans on internal combustion engines and critiquing the EU's Green Deal. Its target audience includes commuters, residents of rural areas, and industrial workers. Beyond transport policy, the party advocates for strict immigration limits and opposes the introduction of the Euro. It positions itself as the voice of 'reason' against a supposedly ideologized elite in Brussels and Prague.
Strategically, the party acts as a right-wing populist corrective force within the Czech party system. It leverages the issue of mobility as a highly emotional tool to mobilize broader conservative voter segments and forge alliances with established right-wing forces. Its relationship with institutions is marked by skepticism towards EU structures, while it emphasizes the national rule of law as a sanctuary for individual liberties.
