Free Citizens' Party
Mach founded the Free Citizens' Party in 2009. The decision to establish a new political party started after he left the ODS at the end of 2007. The ultimate decision came on 4th of December 2008 when ODS decided to change its stance favorably to the Lisbon treaty. In September 2010 he made a speech at the UKIP Annual Conference and praised Václav Klaus for his efforts to undermine the Lisbon Treaty : "Last year President Vaclav Klaus stood against the Lisbon Treaty as the last European statesman, and we were all sad when he eventually signed it. But we don’t blame him. We understood that he couldn’t hold against both chambers of the Czech Parliament and the Constitutional Court. He definitely did his best."
