You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Congress of the New Right''' (((lang-pl|Kongres Nowej Prawicy)), '''Nowa Prawica''' or just '''KNP''') is a Eurosceptic [[list of political parties in Poland|political party in Poland]].<ref name="Szczerbiak">((cite news|title=EU election: Polish campaign dominated by Ukraine crisis|author=Aleks Szczerbiak|url=http://theconversation.com/eu-election-polish-campaign-dominated-by-ukraine-crisis-25782|date=23 May 2014|accessdate=27 May 2014))</ref> 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.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://archiwum.thenews.pl/1/9/Artykul/192851,KorwinMikke-ousted-as-leader-of-New-Right|title=Korwin-Mikke ousted as leader of New Right|website=Polskie Radio dla Zagranicy))</ref> The party assumed the official name Congress of the New Right on 12 May 2011.

== History ==
The political organisation KNP was founded by supporters of Liberty and Lawfulness leader, [[Janusz Korwin-Mikke]], who finished fourth in the [[2010 Polish local elections|2010 Polish presidential election]],<ref>((Cite web|title=Wybory 2010|url=https://prezydent2010.pkw.gov.pl/PZT1/PL/WYN/W/index.htm|access-date=2021-02-03|website=prezydent2010.pkw.gov.pl))</ref> receiving 2.5% votes (over 400,000). Taking advantage of his rising popularity, a group of political activists derived from both the former party of [[Janusz Korwin-Mikke]], the [[Real Politics Union]], and the [[Liberty and Lawfulness]] (dissolved three days earlier), came together on 9 October 2010 to form a new party: the "Real Politics Union – Liberty and Lawfulness". The new party took part in the 2010 local Polish elections, represented by commissioner [[Tomasz Sommer]] . The committee put forward candidates in thirteen voivodeships. The "Congress of the New Right" equaled the results of its leader in two voivodeships, [[małopolskie|Lesser Poland]] (2.69%) and [[mazowieckie|Mazovia]] (2.32%). In terms of overall country-wide votes, the party concluded the election at seventh place.<ref>[http://wybory2010.pkw.gov.pl/templates/kbw/doc/kom-sejmik.xls Kom Sejmik] wybory2010.pkw.gov.pl (in Polish)</ref> The committee had candidates for the position of mayor in some main cities in Poland in the same 2010 elections. [[Janusz Korwin-Mikke]] ended fourth in the mayoral election in Warsaw, gaining 3.90% of the eligible votes. Afterwards, the new party, the Congress of the New Right was founded on 25 March 2011, a day after the "Real Politics Union – Liberty and Lawfulness" had ceased to exist.

== Activity ==
The first meeting of the new party was held on 16 April 2011 in the [[Palace of Culture and Science]]. Over 2,000 sympathizers attended the meeting, including notable people like [[Krzysztof Rybiński]], [[Andrzej Sośnierz]], [[Krzysztof Bosak]], [[Romuald Szeremietiew]], [[Stanisław Michalkiewicz]] or [[Tomasz Sommer]]. One month later, "Congress of the New Right" was formally acknowledged on 12 April 2011 as a new name of the party.

The Congress registered an electoral committee under the name "Nowa Prawica - Janusz Korwin Mikke" for the upcoming [[2011 Polish parliamentary election|2011 parliamentary elections]]. The National Election Committee ("Państwowa Komisja Wyborcza", PKW) accepted the party in 21 of 41 electoral districts, refusing the Congress to enlist for the rest on the grounds of not delivering a 'list of supporters' on time. The decision was generally received as controversial. The PKW rejected to submit motives of the refusal despite being constitutionally obliged to do so. This move effectively denied the Congress of the New Right access to [[Sejm of the Republic of Poland|the Polish Parliament]] as it effectively had to receive twice the votes of the constitutional threshold of five percent in order to be elected to [[Sejm of the Republic of Poland|the Polish Parliament]]. The party could not put forward candidates in most of the largest cities in [[Poland]], including [[Warsaw]], where [[Janusz Korwin-Mikke]] was denied enlistment. Representatives of other parties (UPR, LPR and others) were put on the lists of the Congress of the New Right. In the elections to [[Senate of the Republic of Poland|the Polish Senate]] the party was allowed to put forward candidates on 10 out of 100 electoral districts (the number of electoral districts differ for the Polish Parliament and the Polish Senate). The elections were disastrous for the party as it received merely 1.06% votes (151 837), a result that placed it at seventh place. Therefore, none of the party's candidates were voted into the Senate.

On 9 January 2013 The KNP Youth Section was officially founded. Access is granted to both young adults as well as those who have not reached the age of majority (18).

In the 2015 party's leader [[Janusz Korwin-Mikke]], along with party's [[Member of parliament|MP]] [[Przemysław Wipler]] and [[Member of the European Parliament|MEP]] [[Robert Iwaszkiewicz]] split into [[Liberty (Poland)|Liberty]], whose leader became [[Janusz Korwin-Mikke]].

In the [[2015 Polish parliamentary election|parliamentary election in 2015]] KNP stood for the Sejm from the lists of [[Kukiz'15]], gaining 1 MP.

== Aims ==
KNP is against interfering with the current election system. It calls for enacting a new libertarian-minded constitution, reduction of the size of the [[Polish Parliament]] and forming a State Council, which would replace the Parliament as the legislative branch. KNP is also in favor of more regional autonomy.<ref>((cite web |url=http://glosujteraz.pl/partie-polityczne/kongres-nowej-prawicy |title=Kongres Nowej Prawicy |website=Portal Wyborczy w Polsce |date=2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120708203124/http://glosujteraz.pl/partie-polityczne/kongres-nowej-prawicy |archive-date=8 July 2012))</ref>

The party's main priorities are lowering taxes (including the abolition of [[income tax]]) and reducing the national debt by cutting down social programs and allowing the economy to flourish.<ref>((Cite web|date=2017-11-09|title=Program partii Korwin-Mikkego: niższe podatki i legalna marihuana - Polska - Newsweek.pl|url=http://www.newsweek.pl/polska/obnizenie-podatkow-i-legalizacja-marihuany--recepta-korwin-mikkego-na-polske,77571,1,1.html|access-date=2021-02-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171109000751/http://www.newsweek.pl/polska/obnizenie-podatkow-i-legalizacja-marihuany--recepta-korwin-mikkego-na-polske,77571,1,1.html|archive-date=9 November 2017))</ref>

KNP is for the total decriminalisation of using and producing drugs.<ref name="nowaprawicajkm.pl">((cite web |url=http://nowaprawicajkm.pl/info/program-wyborczy/program-wyborczy-knp |title=Program Wyborczy KNP |website=On its own website |date=2011-07-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140530024330/http://www.nowaprawicajkm.pl/info/program-wyborczy/program-wyborczy-knp |archive-date=2014-05-30 |df=ymd-all))</ref>

KNP is for establishing a [[presidential system]] instead of the current [[parliamentary system]].

KNP opposes [[same-sex marriage]].<ref name="nowaprawicajkm.pl"/>

The party is for the restoration of [[capital punishment]].<sup>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140530024330/http://www.nowaprawicajkm.pl/info/program-wyborczy/program-wyborczy-knp <nowiki>[10]</nowiki>]</sup>

The party supports Polish [[withdrawal from the European Union]] and wants to maintain the [[Polish zloty]] and to make it a [[gold standard|gold-based currency]].

KNP is [[anti-abortion]] only allowing in case of risk for the mother's life.
