The party's foundation is built upon a staunchly anti-globalist and sovereignist worldview. It perceives the nation-state as an endangered entity that must be defended against the influence of Brussels bureaucracy and international organizations. Its core philosophy emphasizes economic self-determination, viewing state and international regulations as fundamental infringements on personal liberty. National identity, culture, and the protection of the indigenous population take precedence over multilateral commitments.
The party's agenda centers on staunch economic protectionism and a fundamental departure from the European Union's current trajectory. It advocates for strengthening national veto rights within the EU, opposes international health agreements, and decries the erosion of economic sovereignty. Its target demographic includes disillusioned citizens, small business owners, and farmers who feel economically marginalized by globalization and European integration. Socially, the party firmly upholds conservative values.
Within the political landscape, the party operates as an uncompromising outsider and an anti-establishment force. Its strategy relies on polarization and the targeted mobilization of anti-system sentiment to challenge established parties and the mainstream rule-of-law consensus. Its relationship with national and international institutions is characterized by confrontation. The group primarily utilizes the mechanisms of liberal democracy to question its structures and serve as a platform for fundamental opposition.
