Source-derived summary

New Poland (Polish: Nowa Polska, NOWA) is a centrist political party in Poland. The party was founded in September 2025 based on a Senate circle of Senate Pact 2023 independents on the initiative of senator Wadim Tyszkiewicz, after which it selected senator Zygmunt Frankiewicz as its party chairman.

Senate Circle Independents and Self-Governing

The Senate Circle Independents and Self-Governing (Polish: Koło Senackie Niezależni i Samorządni) was created by senators elected in the 2023 Polish parliamentary election as part of the Senate Pact 2023 who ran not as members of political parties but through independent electoral committees within the Pact. The circle had four members — Andrzej Dziuba, Zygmunt Frankiewicz, Krzysztof Kwiatkowski (leader at the time) and Wadim Tyszkiewicz — until 22 February 2024, when Kwiatkowski joined the Civic Coalition Parliamentary Club. On 6 March 2024, Frankiewicz became the leader of the circle.

History

Preliminary organization

Following the defeat of liberal Rafał Trzaskowski in the 2025 Polish presidential election, Wadim Tyszkiewicz announced his retirement from Polish politics in early June 2025. He claims to have "fallen into depression right after the presidential election", believing that the supposed "golden age of Poland" that in his belief started in 1989 had ended, given the success of Karol Nawrocki, Law and Justice, Confederation and Grzegorz Braun.

However, his stance quickly changed in response to the rising support for the right-wing in Poland, and in an interview with Rzeczpospolita on 26 June 2025, Tyszkiewicz announced that he would be constructing a new political group in opposition to the "PO–PiS duopoly" and "brown Poland", seeking to "prevent the Hungarian scenario in Poland" and "rule of the populist far-right". He stated: "I am driven by the awareness of the threat that awaits Poland if, in two years' time, these parties gain power, and God forbid, a constitutional majority. Then we will be on a slippery slope.

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
