Liberty (Polish: Wolność) is a Polish eurosceptic political party established in 2015 by Janusz Korwin-Mikke as a result of his removal from his former party, Congress of the New Right.[6] Among the party's other members are Przemysław Wipler, who held a seat in the Polish Sejm and Robert Iwaszkiewicz, Member of the European Parliament.
Until October 8, 2016, the party was known as Coalition for the Renewal of the Republic – Liberty and Hope.[7] The party's Polish name was originally a backronym of the founder's name (KORWiN).
Korwin-Mikke took part in presidential elections in 2015.[8]
As of December 2017, both the party's MEPs were under investigation by the European Anti-Fraud Office for fictitious employment of family members and friends as assistants, and the party was reported to be facing a fine as a result of the investigation.[9]
