Janusz Palikot (born October 26, 1964 in Biłgoraj) is a controversial Polish businessman, activist, and politician. He was elected to Sejm on September 25, 2005 getting 26275 votes in 6 Lublin district, running on the Platforma Obywatelska list.

Controversy

In April 2007 during a PO press conference, Palikot wore a t-shirt with "I am from the SLD" ("Jestem z SLD") on the front and "I am gay" ("Jestem gejem") on the back. He later stated that he wanted to highlight the role PO should play in contemporary politics - as defenders of minorities.

A few days later on 24 April 2007 he produced a gun and a vibrator at a press conference called to discuss the case of some police officers from Lublin, accused of rape. He explained that the objects were in his opinion modern symbols of law and justice in Poland, as well as representing Lublin's police [ [http://fakty.interia.pl/newsroom/news/palikot-z-silikonowym-penisem-w-rece,901145 "Palikot with a silicon penis in his hand" - interia.pl] ]

On 23 July 2008 Palikot said in an interview "I consider the President to be an oaf" ("Uważam prezydenta za chama"), an illegal act under Poland's anti-defamation laws. The country's chief prosecutor has opened an investigation into the event and Palikot faces up to 3 years in prison.
