Ivan Vilibor Sinčić (born 28 August 1990), or simply Ivan Sinčić, is a Croatian politician and anti-eviction activist. He served as chairman of the Key of Croatia party (formerly known as Human Shield) and is currently serving as a member of the European Parliament since 2019.
Biography
Sinčić was born in Karlovac. He completed his undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Zagreb.
In 2016, he married fellow Human Shield activist and former party co-chairwoman Vladimira Palfi. They have a son named Ksaver and a daughter called Iskra.
Along with former-fellow MP Ivan Pernar, Sinčić was one of the founders of Human Shield in 2011.
Sinčić was a candidate in the first round of the 2014 Croatian presidential election, coming in third with 16.42% of the vote.
He was first elected a Member of the Croatian Parliament in the 2015 parliamentary election, from the 7th electoral district, and took office on 28 December 2015. He was reelected to Parliament in the 2016 parliamentary election.
On 26 May 2019, he was elected to the European Parliament but announced he would not take up his seat. On 4 June 2019, the presidency of his party decided that Sinčić would still occupy his seat in the European Parliament because he won the most preferential votes in the elections held on 26 May 2019.
Views
It has been stated that he "believes in abolishing private banks". Sinčić was against Croatian government decision to grant 3600 HRK (approx. 486€) of monthly financial aid to Ukrainian refugees arriving to Croatia.
