Power struggle in Slovenia
Ever since the exit from the former Yugoslavia and declaring its independence in 1991 the Republic of Slovenia, the times for most of the citizens weren’t exactly great. Corruption, nepotism, highly imposed strict corporate mentality, and one might argue there has been a heavy devaluation of work at least for those less privileged along with considerably lower incomes in general but similar expenses than for example in the countries north of Slovenia.
While the majority of people most likely don’t find sinking economy, sale or privatisation of the companies, and absence of decent work so greenishly-great. Of course, official or mainstream standing here is more positive. Slovenia is a green and beautiful country. ‘You’ve invited foreigners - we guarantee smiling servants.’
Enforced corona “adventure” in Slovenia resulted in more and more serious political alternative, though there is probably still a long road ahead. It’s challenging to geopolitically define this area due to the extent of political satellites and endless narrative spins by an almost hermetically closed media.
There were many protests against the corona measure, and some of them are described here, here, here, here, or here, etc.
Election day, 24th of April, 2022
The main question is if the will of the people’s political opinions and overweight of this current political order. On the 24th of April, there are parliament elections in Slovenia.
On one side, there is current premier Janez Janša and his political party, which has its voting body and is presumably supported by the Church. And on the other side, we have 20+ alternatives, which are quite diverse. It’s composed of supposed parliament opposition, "parliament" opposition, and non-parliament opposition. Strangely "parliament" written with quotations stands for non-parliament opposition, which was by Constitutional court order recognised as a parliament party so that they can participate in media discussions with current parliament parties. I'm not kidding.
Instead of discussions about the actual structure of power, parliament politics (along with their satellites among alternatives) with the extensive help by mainstream media, there is almost nothing except the endless promotion of individuals. Robert Golob, for example, is the leader of the "parliament party" Svoboda. Of course, he is the MSM's hero that many count on to take over the government, but it’s speculated that he is a globalist himself.
And then we probably have controlled opposition even among supposedly real and divided alternatives. At least to some point, there could be a calculation in the background about dividing voters.
The Importance of the Constitution
The political party that was established by the front-liners from the street, common people protestors, Za ljudstvo Slovenije (ZLS), often talks about the need for profound and complex changes, connected with our Constitution. The other alternatives don't even mention the Constitution, or they do far less. Instead, they build their politics around the idea: 'vote for us, and we'll do the rest.' Though, it's clear nobody can do anything in politics anymore without wider support of the people, which can only be gained after real talks about the content of the Constitution (and basic human rights).
The Constitution could be the lowest common point, connecting point. People need to start paying more attention.
And then it gets really interesting. Our Slovenian Constitution was actually never confirmed by the people, claims the President of ZLS, Anica Bidar. The claim is that procedural mistakes were made during the formation of independent Slovenia - and the idea is that we have yet to confirm it, which is probably the best, with some necessary changes for the good of the people. That’s not all. The leading parties in Slovenia were, according to this document, actually formed in Yugoslavia. So that means, for example, that the Janša's party has an official date of formation in the 60s or 70s in the last century when we were still in Yugoslavia. Is a political party formed in Yugoslavia legitimate in Slovenia?
Upside down politics are nothing new here. After this pre-election show, with the leaders of the parliament parties and leaders of two “parliament parties,” it is obvious there is a need for a new way of politics. With so divided an alternative, that is a question, but if there were some changes for the better, that would be for the best.
