Robert Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz (born 17 May 1962) is a Polish politician for the Coalition for the Renewal of the Republic - Freedom and Hope who was elected to the European Parliament in May 2014.
Originally a non-inscrit in the EP, he joined the Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy (EFDD) on 20 October 2014. The EFDD had briefly ceased to exist when Iveta Grigule left the group since it no longer had representatives from seven different countries as the EP rules require. Upon Iwaszkiewicz joining, group leader Nigel Farage stated "To paraphrase Mark Twain 'Rumours of our death have been greatly exaggerated.'" [1] as the group again had members from the required seven countries. The three other members of KNP remained non-inscrits. Iwaszkiewicz cited UKIP's support for free market economy and fight against EU bureaucracy as reasons for joining the group.[2][3]
He is a member of the European Parliament Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection.[4] Member of the Organization of Polish Monarchists.[5]
