Founded in 2015 by Janusz Korwin-Mikke as a result of his removal from the Congress of the New Right, his former party,[3] it was initially called Coalition for the Renewal of the Republic of Liberty and Hope (Polish: Koalicja Odnowy Rzeczypospolitej Wolność i Nadzieja) and then subsequently Confederation for the Renewal of the Republic of Liberty and Hope (Polish: Konfederacja Odnowy Rzeczypospolitej Wolność i Nadzieja), both abbreviated to just KORWiN or sometimes Liberty (Polish: Wolność).
Among the other party's members are Przemysław Wipler, who held a seat in the Polish Sejm and Robert Iwaszkiewicz, Member of the European Parliament. The party's Polish name was originally a backronym of the founder's name Korwin-Mikke, who took part in the 2015 presidential election.[4]
In 2018, the party formed a coalition with National Movement called Confederation.[5]
