Political career

Janus established the Yellow Party and the Socialist Yellow Party on 12 September 2018. Janus dissolved the Socialist Yellow Party on 24 December, one day before the end of the 2018 General Election. In an interview, Janus stated "I dissolved the Socialist Yellow Party because I simply changed my political views. The Yellow Party will now be my main party." Following the dissolution of the Socialist Yellow Party, the Socialist Scandinavian Party gained all four of its seats after a parliament vote. This was decided since it was the only other socialist party at the time. Janus supports free speech, and proposed the speech act which was passed on 19 September 2019.

He was charged with burning money, which is a crime if you do not possess a relevant legal permit. He was fined an unspecified amount of money, which he did not pay. The court case was later dismissed.
