Janusz Korwin-Mikke; photo - east newsJanusz Korwin-Mikke, long-time leader of the Union of Real Politics and lately of the Freedom and Lawfulness (Wolność i Praworządność) party and veteran of many
presidential election campaigns, will be joined at the congress by former vice-deputy of the National Bank of Poland and prominent critic of the government’s economic policy, Krzysztof Rybinski.
Korwin-Mikke will also be joined by Krzysztof Bosak, one-time leader of the far-right All-Polish Youth and former member of parliament (Poznan) for the League of Polish Families (LPR).
Other politicians involved in the New Right Congress are organiser of the Libertas party in Poland Artur Zawisza, former deputy defence minister Romuald Szeremietiew and an assortment of right wing journalists.
Janusz Korwin-Mikke has said that the Congress is preparing for the general elections, probably in October this year, and seeks to form a broad right-wing platform with the desire to change the political system in Poland.
The congress has yet to state any policies, but Korwin-Mikke has in the past said that he favours a small state, low taxes and the death penalty for murderers, and opposes abortion and euthanasia, same-sex marriage and the EU.
Participants of the Congress of the New Right will parade through the streets of Warsaw to Castle Square after a meeting at the Palace of Culture and Science in the centre of town.
