Modern (Polish: Nowoczesna, styled as .Nowoczesna), is a liberal political party in Poland founded in late May 2015 by the economist Ryszard Petru.
The party received 7.6% of votes in the 2015 Polish parliamentary election,[2] which resulted in winning 28 seats in Sejm. Paweł Kobyliński, elected to the Sejm from Kukiz'15's electoral list moved to Modern's parliamentary group in December 2015, thus the party now has 29 seats.
Formation
The movement was founded in late May 2015 as NowoczesnaPL (ModernPL) by economist Ryszard Petru.[3] Due to some controversy over its name – there had already been a non-governmental organization called Fundacja Nowoczesna Polska (Modern Poland Foundation)[4] – in August 2015, the movement's name was changed to .Modern (.Nowoczesna).[5] Around the same time, the party's new logo was presented, and Kamila Gasiuk-Pihowicz became its spokesperson.[6]
