Ivan Štefunko (born 4 March 1977)[2] is a Slovak politician, entrepreneur, and co-founder of multiple companies.

[1] Upon graduation from university, Štefunko became chairman of the now-defunct political party Young Democratic Left.

[7] His political activities continued under the leadership of Milan Ftáčnik, but it also disappeared due to the merger with Direction – Social Democracy.

[8] Štefunko further stated that Direction – Social Democracy has not brought any fundamental improvement in people's lives in 10 years.

[10] Sociologist Slosiarik was very interested in this type of party project, but according to him, Štefunko's personality will not be enough for success.
