Maciej Giertych
Maciej Giertych is a Polish politician, who was a member of the Sejm, the lower house of Polish parliament from 2001 to 2004, and has been a member of the European Parliament for the League of Polish Families (LPR) since 13 June 2004.
He graduated from Oxford University, got his PhD in Toronto, and completed his qualifications for an assistant professorship in Poznań, Poland. He is also a notable professor of physiology and the genetics of forest trees. He is a firm supporter of creationism.
Although staunchly anti-communist, he was a member of a council working for the Communist president Wojciech Jaruzelski from 1986 to 1990. Giertych comes from a famous Polish political family: he is the son of Jędrzej Giertych, and father to Roman Giertych, who currently leads the LPR.
