The party's foundation is built upon a radical anti-establishment platform. It views the state as a system captured by corruption, which must be 'reclaimed by the people.' Its worldview blends Christian-conservative values with a profound distrust of traditional political structures. Rather than operating as a conventional organization, it functions more as a loose platform for various civic movements. Its ethos is shaped by the concept of the 'honest citizen' who must be defended against a corrupt elite.
The party's agenda is consistently focused on combating corruption and promoting transparency. It advocates for stringent oversight mechanisms within the judiciary and public administration to curb cronyism and nepotism. Socially, it champions popular measures such as direct financial aid for families, making it appealing to rural populations and lower-income demographics. Its target audience is the 'silent majority' who feel let down by established political parties. In foreign policy, the party often oscillates between pro-European cooperation and a strong emphasis on national sovereignty.
Strategically, the party operates as a critical force, maintaining an oppositional stance even when holding governmental responsibility. It deliberately employs provocation and social media to bypass traditional media channels. Its relationship with rule-of-law institutions is ambivalent: while emphasizing judicial independence in the fight against corruption, its members often criticize formal democratic processes as obstructive when they hinder their immediate drive for action. This regularly leads to tensions within political coalitions.
