Biography

Sinčić was born in Karlovac. He completed his undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Zagreb.[1]

In 2016 he married fellow Human Blockade activist and former party co-chairwoman Vladimira Palfi. They have a son named Ksaver.

Along with now-fellow MP Ivan Pernar, Sinčić was one of the founders of Human Blockade 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.[2]

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.[3] He was reelected to Parliament in the 2016 parliamentary election.

On 26 May 2019, he was elected to the European Parliament but he announced that he won't take up his seat.[4] On 4 June 2019, the presidency of his party decided that Sincic would still occupy his seat in the European Parliament because he won the most preferential votes in the elections held on 26 May 2019.
