Voters:
The SPD and its allied parties tend to appeal to:
- older and middle-aged voters
- residents of smaller towns and rural areas
- voters with lower trust in mainstream media and institutions
- those who prioritize national sovereignty, anti-immigration policies, and cultural conservatism
- those skeptical of the EU, environmental regulations, and globalization
History:
The SPD (Freedom and Direct Democracy) was founded in 2015 by Tomio Okamura after splitting from another party founded by Okamura. It emphasizes nationalism and anti-immigration policies.
PRO (Law, Respect, Expertise) was founded in 2022, emerging from the anti-lockdown demonstrations of 2021. It positions itself as an anti-establishment party focused on national sovereignty, personal freedoms, and opposition to EU influence.
Trikolóra was founded in 2019 by Václav Klaus Jr., promoting traditional values, national conservatism, and euroscepticism.
Svobodní (The Free Citizens’ Party), founded in 2009, advocates for libertarian economic policies, minimal state intervention, and Czech withdrawal from EU overreach.
Political Position:
The SPD is generally considered far-right or right-wing populist, emphasizing national sovereignty and strict immigration controls. It is critical of the European Union, promotes traditional cultural values, and opposes multiculturalism and environmental regulations. The party frequently uses anti-establishment and fear-mongering rhetoric and appeals to voters who feel left behind by mainstream politics.
Performance:
Since the 2021 elections, the SPD has remained in opposition, using its platform in parliament to promote nationalist, anti-immigration, and anti-EU positions. It has focused more on obstruction and political messaging than on legislative initiatives, often delaying debates and opposing government proposals without offering detailed alternatives. While not part of the governing coalition, the SPD has maintained a steady presence in public discourse through populist rhetoric and social media outreach, reinforcing its image as the main anti-establishment voice in Czech politics.
Perception on Corruption:
The SPD and its coalition partners frequently criticize corruption among mainstream parties and present themselves as defenders of “ordinary people” against political elites. Their anti-corruption stance is largely framed through populist rhetoric, focusing on systemic distrust and the need to overhaul the political establishment, rather than on detailed institutional reforms.
