The party's foundation is built upon an aggressive nationalism that perceives Romanian identity as under threat. Its worldview is deeply rooted in Orthodox Christianity, consistently rejecting liberal Western values and globalist influence. The state is understood as an instrument for defending the nation against external powers, prioritizing national sovereignty over international alliances. The party cultivates a nostalgic vision of a 'Greater Romania' and advocates for an emotional return to traditional family structures and historical myths.
The party's agenda is characterized by an isolationist foreign policy and demands for Romania's withdrawal from the EU or a drastic reduction of its influence. S.O.S. România specifically targets citizens who feel left behind by modernization, as well as rural populations and deeply religious communities. Key demands include halting foreign aid, protecting domestic resources from foreign corporations, and fostering closer ties with geopolitical actors outside the Western alliance. The party positions itself as the voice of the 'true people' against a corrupt elite.
Within Romania's political system, the party functions as a radical protest force, deliberately pushing the boundaries of parliamentary discourse. Its relationship with rule-of-law institutions is characterized by deep distrust.
