Normal Country

Normal Country (, NK) is a Polish right-wing political party founded in January 2015 as a result of a split in Association "Republicans". It was formally registered on 30 April 2015. Until 14 June 2015, it was known as Republican Congress ().

History

The creation of Republican Congress was announced in January 2015 by members of Association "Republicans" (''Stowarzyszenie "Republikanie"'') dissatisfied with the leadership of Przemysław Wipler, including Tomasz Jaskóła (who soon left the Congress in favor of Kukiz’15). Krzysztof Fluder became its chairman. During its first convention on 14 June 2015, it was renamed to Normal Country and former Congress of the New Right member Wiesław Lewicki became its new chairman. The party also cut ties with the idea of republicanism, taking on an anti-establishment and strongly right-wing bend. The former chairman Krzysztof Flunder founded a centre-right splinter party Republicans RP (''Republikanie RP'') which dissolved in 2017.

Normal Country established cooperation with Patriotic Poland and Organisation of the Polish Nation - Polish League. In the 2019 Polish parliamentary election, the party fielded a Senate candidate Wojciech Mateńka from Patriotic Poland in Lublin I constituency. He achieved 7.03% of the vote. In the 2020 Polish presidential election, the party tried to field its chairman NK Wiesław Lewicki but failed to collect enough signatures.

In the 2023 Polish parliamentary election, the party fielded Sejm lists in four constituencies and one candidate to the Senate. Its Siedlce constituency list included members of the Front party with Krzysztof Tołwiński as the list leaders. It received 0.02% of the vote. The Senate candidate achieved last place in his constituency with 1.27%.

In the 2024 Polish local elections, the party registered lists to 10 voivodeship sejmiks, eight gmina councils, and a mayoral candidate in gmina Wiżajny (Józef Laskowski). In sejmiks it received 0.6% of the nationwide vote with the highest support in Greater Poland (1.43%). It did not receive any sejmik seats. However it obtained one seat in gmina Kazanów council.

In the 2024 European Parliament election, the party registered lists in five constituencies. Aside from Normal Country members and independents it included one Silesians Together member and one New Hope member. The committee received 0.17% of the votes.
