Luis "Alvise" Pérez Fernández (Spanish pronunciation: [alˈβise ˈpeɾeθ]; born 26 February 1990) is a Spanish social media personality, politician, and political advisor. His Telegram account has more than 700,000 followers, and he is the founder and leader of Se Acabó La Fiesta, that obtained 3 seats in the 2024 European Parliament election in Spain.
A former member of Union, Progress and Democracy, during his time in England he was a member of the Liberal Democrats. Back in Spain, he joined Citizens (Cs) and served as chief of staff of Toni Cantó, leader of Cs in the Valencian Community. In 2019, he was dismissed and left Cs over controversial statements he had made on Twitter. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, he has become a leading figure of the alt-right movement in Spain thanks to his activity on social networks, which consists of publishing information about alleged illegalities committed by Spanish left-wing politicians and journalists. Some of those exclusives have turned out to be fake news, which has led him to be sued and fined several times, whereas other trials have resulted in his acquittal.
