.Modern (Polish: Nowoczesna, styled as .Nowoczesna), is a liberal[1][2] and classical-liberal[3] political party in Poland. The party was founded in May 2015 by the former World Bank economist Ryszard Petru.[4] Katarzyna Lubnauer became the party's leader in November 2017.[5]
History
The party was founded in late May 2015 as NowoczesnaPL (ModernPL) by economist Ryszard Petru.[6]
Due to some controversy over its name – there had already been a non-governmental organization called the Modern Poland Foundation.[7] In August 2015, the party's name was changed to .Modern (.Nowoczesna).[8]
Around the same time, the party's new logo was presented, and Kamila Gasiuk-Pihowicz became its spokesperson.[9]
The party received 7.6% of votes in the 2015 parliamentary election, which resulted in winning 28 seats in the Sejm.[10][11]
The party was admitted into the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) on 4 June 2016.[12]
Katarzyna Lubnauer became the leader of Nowoczesna in November 2017. In leader elections at the party congress, Lubnauer received 149 votes and Petru received 140 votes.[5]
Ideology
The party has been compared to the Free Democratic Party of Germany (FDP), with its emphasis on economic liberalism in its policy platform.[13]
