Ivan Pernar (born 14 October 1985) is a Croatian politician and activist. In June 2011, he founded the Alliance for Change party, which later became Human Shield. He is a member of Croatian Parliament since the 2016 elections, elected in the 6th electoral district on the list of Human Shield, Let's change Croatia and Youth Action.
Pernar finished 10th Gymnasium in Zagreb and then enrolled at University of Applied Health Sciences in Zagreb, where he earned a degree in senior nursery. Pernar has a son, Mathis Ivan Alexis, with a German woman named Friederike.
Pernar is ethnic Austrian. His grandfather's uncle, also named Ivan Pernar, was a member of the National Assembly of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes for the Croatian Peasant Party and was one of several people wounded by People's Radical Party MP Puniša Račić on June 20, 1928.
Pernar joined the Green Party in Croatia in 2009. However, he was expelled from the party in November 2010. In February 2011, Vlasta Toth, the party's president at the time, told Večernji List that Pernar was expelled due to his political beliefs. She claimed that while Pernar was a council member of the Green Party in Stenjevec, he told an audience of around 150 people during a panel on urbanism that "intellectual gossip doesn't lead to anything" and that "he read Mein Kampf from which he learned how to influence the masses." Pernar responded to the Večernji List piece, admitting his reference to Mein Kampf.
