Background
After the dismemberment of Wolność i Praworządność, its former members joined an electoral alliance with Korwin-Mikke's former party, the Real Politics Union (UPR). On 25 March 2011, the party was formally registered with the Real Politics Union with the name change. The new party, first called 'Real Politics Union - Liberty and Lawfulness', was renamed to Congress of the New Right on 12 May 2011. Its leader, Korwin-Mikke declared that "invalids are similar to women with pimples who try not to leave their homes," informed Nowy Ekran SA.[3]
