Political career

Robejšek founded a new political party Realists in 2016.[3] Robejšek stated he wants to save the Czech political right. He mentioned that traditional right wing parties such as the Civic Democratic Party and TOP 09 are in crisis. He stated that party wants to get 20% in the upcoming legislative election.[4] He led the party during 2017 legislative election but it received only 0.7% of votes and thus failed to reach 5% threshold.[5][6]
