Furio Radin (born 1 June 1950) is a Croatian politician who represents Italian national minority in the Croatian Parliament since 1992, and chairs Parliament's Committee on Human Rights and Rights of National Minorities since 2000.

Radin was first elected to the Parliament in 1992 parliamentary election, and was reelected in 2000, 2003, 2007, 2011, 2015 and 2016 elections. Although formally independent, he closely cooperates with liberal Istrian Democratic Assembly party in whose parliamentary club he sits.

Furio Radin was born on 1 June 1950 in Pula where he attended elementary and high school. He graduated physiology from the Zagreb Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, and later gained PhD from the same subject. During his youth, he was active in the Croatian branch of the League of Communist Youth of Yugoslavia where he was responsible for the scientific activity of young people.[3]

Political career

Radin was first elected to the Croatian Parliament at the 1992 parliamentary election as a representative for the Italian national minority, and was reelected at the next 6 elections. For the 2011 parliamentary election he didn't run the campaign because he was the sole candidate. Between 1993 and 2001, he served as councilor in the Assembly of Istria County. Since 2000, Radin presides over Parliament's Committee on Human Rights and Rights of National Minorities, having been elected to that function six times by 2017.[4][5]

Radin is married to sociologist Helena Štimac-Radin who is Chairwoman of the Office for Gender Equality of the Croatian Government.[6] His wife was a member of the Croatian Social Liberal Party between 1990 and 1997, and of the Liberal Party between 1997 and 2006 in which she served as a Vice President.[5][7] Couple has no children. Radin's brother Fabrizio, a member of the Istrian Democratic Assembly party, is president of the Italian Council of Executive Committee in Croatia, three time Deputy Mayor of Pula and, since 2017, Deputy Prefect of Istria County.[8]
