Adam Bielan has formally announced the creation of a new political party that will become part of the governing United Right coalition. Bielan, a former member of Agreement, a junior member of Poland's United Right ruling coalition, broke the news at a congress in Warsaw on Sunday. "We are establishing the Republican Party as a representation of citizens who value the idea of freedom... individual and national freedom... socially sensitive economic freedom," he said. "We are, and will remain part of the United Right, the most successful political project of the Polish right in history," he added.
