Janusz Ryszard Korwin-Mikke (, often referred to by his initials JKM, born 27 October 1942) is a libertarian conservative Polish politician and writer, the creator of the Polish libertarian and Eurosceptic political party Coalition for the Renewal of the Republic - Liberty and Hope (KORWiN) and Member of the European Parliament. He was the leader of the Congress of the New Right (KNP), which was formed in 2011 from Liberty and Lawfulness, which he led from its formation in 2009, and the Real Politics Union (UPR – ''Unia Polityki Realnej''), which he led from 1990 to 1997 and 1999 to 2003. Currently he is the chairman of the KORWiN party (along with Przemysław Wipler, Polish MP, and Robert Iwaszkiewicz, MEP), which was virtually transformed from the Congress of the New Right. ==Biography== Janusz Ryszard Korwin-Mikke was born in German-occupied Warsaw on October 27, 1942. He was the only child of Ryszard Mikke and Maria Rosochacka. His father was the head of an engineering department of the State Aviation Works. After the death of his mother during the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, he was under the care of his grandmother and later stepmother. He studied at the Faculty of Mathematics and Faculty of Philosophy of the Warsaw University. In 1965 he was detained by the communist authorities while studying psychology, law, and sociology. In 1968 like other members he was again arrested, jailed and expelled from the university for his participation in student protests. He passed his master's examination without attending any philosophy courses. In years 1969–1974 he was a researcher in the Institute of Motor Transport (''Instytut Transportu Samochodowego''), and then at Warsaw University. In 1978 he established the "Liberal Publishing House" (''Oficyna Liberałów''), an underground publishing house. From 1962 to 1982 he was a member of the Democratic Party, a puppet party subordinate to the communist authorities. In August 1980 he supported the political strike of the Szczecin Shipyard workers, and later he was an adviser of NSZZ Rzemieślników Indywidualnych "Solidarność" (Independent Craftsmen's Union). When he was elected the chairman of a classical liberal political party called ''Ruch Polityki Realnej'' (Real Politics Movement), which in 1989 changed its name to ''Unia Polityki Realnej'' (UPR, Real Politics Union). In 1990 he established a new weekly, ''Najwyższy Czas!'' ("It's High Time!"). The paper was named to have published a number of antisemitic articles, some of them by Korwin-Mikke himself, but no exact reference to any particular articles was made. Janusz Korwin-Mikke himself has since then frequently denied being an anti-Semite. Lech Wałęsa appointed him to Solidarity's advisory body, Komitet Obywatelski (Civic Committee). Korwin-Mikke met with Milton Friedman when Friedman toured Europe advocating free-market policies. Friedman wrote about Janusz Korwin-Mikke in his memoirs: Korwin-Mikke was a Member of Parliament during the first term of the Sejm of the Third Republic of Poland. He was the originator of the vetting resolution on 28 May 1992, which obliged the Minister of Internal Affairs to disclose the names of all politicians who had been communist secret police agents. The disclosed list contained numerous prominent politicians of most political factions. This led to the government being overthrown by the opposition and the President Lech Walesa. He was a candidate for the UPR in the Polish presidential election of 1995, obtaining 2.4% of the vote. He was also candidate in 2000 when he got 1.43% of the vote. In the senate by-election in Wrocław in April 2004 he got 18% of the vote, but did not win the seat. In the presidential elections of 2005 he obtained 1.4% of the vote. Running as a candidate of a new party, the self-named KORWiN, he received 3.3% of the vote and placed fourth in the 2015 presidential election. Janusz Korwin-Mikke is a libertarian conservative.〔 His economic views are radically libertarian. He frequently refers to such figures as Frédéric Bastiat, Alexis de Tocqueville, Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman and Margaret Thatcher. Korwin-Mikke is a self-declared monarchist and thinks that democracy is the "stupidest form of government ever conceived"〔 where "two bums from under a beer stand have twice more votes than an university professor". He claims that "This leads to idiocy, defraudation and corruption" and "this is how the Athenian democracy ended".〔 In 2005, he left UPR and created a new party, Liberty and Lawfulness ((ポーランド語:Wolność i Praworządność), WIP). In 2008, his blog was the most popular political blog in Poland.〔(Blog Janusza Korwin-Mikke najpopularniejszy w Internecie – blog, Janusz Korwin-Mikke ). media2.pl (2012-03-27).
