On October 30, Warsaw’s Regional Court registered “Nowa Polska,” a new political movement headed by Senator Wadim Tyszkiewicz and former city mayors, proclaiming that Poland cannot be ceded without struggle.
New Party Registered by Warsaw Court
On October 30, the Warsaw District Court added Nowa Polska to the official list of political parties.
Founders and Leadership
The party was founded by Senator Wadim Tyszkiewicz, former mayor of Nowa Sól (2002‑2019), and Senator Zygmunt Frankiewicz, former mayor of Gliwice.
Other key figures include Opole mayor Arkadiusz Wiśniewski, Cieszyn mayor Gabriela Staszkiewicz, Starachowice mayor Marek Materek, and former Tychy mayor Senator Andrzej Dziuba.
Tyszkiewicz Declares Commitment to Struggle
After campaigning for Civic Coalition presidential candidate Rafał Trzaskowski, Tyszkiewicz said the defeat shocked him at how vulnerable Poland’s progress was.
“In the end I rallied and said: listen, we cannot give Poland to irresponsible people without a fight,” he told Rzeczpospolita.
Party Capitalizes on Local Governance Experience
He asserted that the party’s strength lies in its members’ extensive experience in municipal administration across the country, building strong networks and solving local problems.
During his 17‑year tenure as mayor of Nowa Sól, he lifted the city out of deprivation and unemployment, proving his capability.
Rejecting Populism, Emphasizing Transparency
The party pledges not to engage in populist tactics or force policies upon the public.
Should their support fail to surpass 3% in forthcoming elections, Tyszkiewicz said they would consider abstaining from participation, urging voters to trust the party’s experience.
Centrist Position and Reform Agenda
Nowa Polska presents itself as a centrist party ready to cooperate with any rational political movement from right to left, excluding radicals.
The platform calls for comprehensive reforms: a fair tax system, a competitive environment for Polish firms, healthcare and education overhauls, and institutional restructuring.
