About Ivan Pernar (politician, born 1985)
Ivan Pernar (born 14 October 1985) is a Croatian politician and activist. In June 2011, he founded the Alliance for Change party, which was later renamed to Human Shield. He was a member of Croatian Parliament from the 2016 elections to May 2020, having been elected in the 6th electoral district on the joint party list of Human Shield, Let's Change Croatia and Youth Action. In June 2019, he announced that he left Human Shield, the party that he founded in 2011, accusing Party president Ivan Vilibor Sinčić and his wife of "turning the party into private property". At a press conference held in the Croatian Parliament, he stated that he had requested the deletion of his Human Shield membership and that he would set up a new party on 7 July 2019. This party would come to be known as the Party of Ivan Pernar. He ran for president in the 2019 Croatian presidential election, finishing in 7th place after winning 2.31% of the vote. During the COVID-19 pandemic in Croatia, Pernar was accused of spreading and promoting misinformation. On 11 August 2019, Ivan and his long-term partner Viktorija welcomed their first son named Noa. After the protests, he founded his own political party "Alliance for Changes", which soon changed its name to Human Shield.
