Slovenia has just ended its term as the EU Council President and things aren’t going well for them. The country seems to be backsliding democratically, with the President seemingly uninterested in the power of the media or democratic institutions. So in this video we explain how Slovenia got here and what the EU are likely to do about it.

Slovenias democrasy is collapsing… and hearing this after year of left winged PM Golob im gonna tell you whats happening now: people wants Jansa back again hehe. Also most people are just idiots: ''I SUPPORT CURRENT THING'' voters… those are real the problem. Nothing, literaly nothing has gone to a better side. Only Prices went up and unaffordable house marketing for regular people.
also LMS is biggest scam Slovenia has witnessed. And every normal slovenian who spent 10 minutes into slovenian politics know hes just a Clown.
All tho i enjoyed few videos on this channel this one is just… Bad example of it. Realy bad.

@nevaklemenc1997
February 28, 2024 at 7:23 pm
The Slovene government president Mr. Golob is a Russian supporter but due to EU responsibilities he (has to, due to finance he needs!!!) sits in two chairs. With the support of Constitutional court (with the left wing majority) he succeeded to put Slovenia back to communism times – his party Gibanje svoboda just took over the public TV – that means no right wing opinion will be available to the nation….in the past year, he changed all the leading positions with his "SVOBODA" supporters. There are no professionals to do the job in the country any more….. Slovenia is sinking like Titanic!
I think democracy in Slovenia was killed yesterday. People will get poorer every day. (Lj., 27..5.2023)
