Before the national council meeting of New Hope, a discussion with Sławomir Mentzen unfolded, leading to the conclusion that a consensus would be unlikely. This sentiment was shared publicly by Janusz Korwin-Mikke on social media, signaling deep differences that day. The meeting itself focused on reviewing the electoral campaign and outlining strategic steps for the months ahead.
During the session, the party leader spoke about the directions and decisions pressing the movement, while Korwin-Mikke offered his perspective in a separate public note. The exchanges underscored a moment of clear divergence within the group, highlighting how different visions for the political path above all else shape the party’s upcoming moves.
The Confederation currently comprises three formations: Nowa Nadzieja, formerly KORWiN, as well as Ruch Narodowy and the Confederation of the Polish Crown.
New president
In October 2022 the KORWiN party congress saw the resignation of President Janusz Korwin-Mikke, and Sławomir Mentzen was chosen as his successor. In November that same year, the leadership announced a rebranding to New Hope. By February 14, 2023, Mentzen assumed the role of co-chair alongside Krzysztof Bosak of the National Movement, solidifying a shared leadership model for the Confederation’s governing body.
In that electoral year, Korwin-Mikke did not secure a seat in parliament. Karina Bosak stepped in to represent the party in the Sejm, reporting a strong debut in politics. In Warsaw’s district, by securing second place, Bosak earned more than twice the votes of the list leader, underscoring a notable shift in support patterns.
The political landscape around the Confederation has continued to evolve, with public discussions reflecting debates over candidate strategy and organizational leadership. This dynamic is part of a broader narrative that observers consider central to the party’s direction and future electoral performance. (Source attribution indicates coverage by wPolityce.)
