The Congress of the New Right (Polish: Kongres Nowej Prawicy, Nowa Prawica or just KNP) is a Eurosceptic political party in Poland.[5] The party was founded on 25 March 2011 by Janusz Korwin-Mikke, from the merger of the Liberty and Lawfulness (WiP) with several members of the Real Politics Union (UPR). The former leader Korwin-Mikke was ousted from the party in 2015, upon revelations that he had fathered 2 children out of wedlock.[6] The party assumed the official name Congress of the New Right on 12 May 2011.
