Petition / Mayik resign as a Member of Parliament immediately!
An online petition initiated by 'Glas ljudstva' demands that MP Boris Mijič resign immediately, accusing him of unethical behavior, financial misconduct, and misleading the public. The petition, signed by nearly 10,000 people, calls for the immediate cessation of financial, organizational, and media support for Mijič and urges his resignation. Signatories from parties including Resnica, SDS, NSi, and Demokrati claim that Mijič’s actions undermine democratic principles and threaten the credibility of parliament. They accuse Mijič of falsely claiming that he did not secretly dismiss workers from his insurance company, while his mother allegedly did so without his knowledge. The petition also criticizes Mijič for allegedly lying about his education, failing to repay debts to workers, and collaborating with Roko Snežič, an SDS operative involved in tax evasion. The petition argues that Mijič treats workers as insignificant and disrespects legal statehood, making him unfit to represent citizens in the National Assembly.
A recent public opinion survey conducted by the Institute for Research of Markets and Media (Mediana) for POP TV reveals shifting political dynamics in Slovenia. If elections had taken place last Sunday, the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) would have secured the highest support with 22.9 percent of respondents, followed by Freedom Movement with 20.5 percent. The current government led by Prime Minister Janez Janša has lost some support, receiving backing from just over a third of respondents, 36.8 percent, while more than 46 percent of those surveyed oppose the ruling administration. The survey shows a slight decline in support for the SDS compared to June, when it received 22.7 percent. Freedom Movement’s share dropped from 22 percent to 20.5 percent. A coalition of New Slovenia (NSi), Social Liberal Party (SLS), and Focus, led by Marko Lotrič, came in third with 8.7 percent, slightly higher than its 8.2 percent in June. Left-wing parties, including the Left (7 percent) and the Social Democrats (SD) with 6.9 percent, saw modest gains. The Democrats, led by Anže Logar, rose significantly to 4.8 percent, while the Res Publica party remained at 3.5 percent and the Slovenian People's Party (SNS) held steady at 2.1 percent. Approximately 9.7 percent of respondents were undecided, down slightly from 9.8 percent in June. Around 6.2 percent of respondents indicated they would not vote for any party, while 1.6 percent refused to answer. On the issue of whether the current government should continue blocking the nomination of Tanja Fajon as the European Union representative for the Sahel region, 19.1 percent of respondents supported the decision, while 34.6 percent opposed it outright. About 14.8 percent felt it was more negative than positive, and nearly a quarter (22 percent) claimed ignorance of the situation. Respondents were also asked about their views on the specialized anti-corruption court (Skok). Only 10.4 percent believed it would effectively combat corruption, while 21.3 percent thought it might be somewhat effective. However, 23.2 percent believed it would likely fail, and another 34.7 percent were convinced it would definitely not work. A further 10.4 percent expressed unfamiliarity with the institution. Regarding the controversy involving Boris Mijič, a member of the Res Publica party, 57.8 percent of respondents believed he should resign due to alleged misconduct, according to the survey. Another 18.1 percent thought he probably should step down, while 5.1 percent believed he likely wouldn’t need to, and 5 percent said he definitely wouldn’t. Fourteen percent of respondents stated they did not know enough about the case. Among supporters of the Res Publica party, 40.4 percent believed Mijič should definitely resign, while 35.7 percent thought he didn’t need to. A smaller portion, 14 percent, believed he probably wouldn’t need to, and 9.6 percent thought he probably should. The survey also highlighted the popularity of politicians. President of the Republic Nataša Pirc Musar remained the most popular figure, maintaining her top position. Matjaž Han, leader of the SD, took second place. Financier Andrej Šircelj climbed to third, overtaking Jernej Vrtovec of NSi and Janez Cigler Kralj, the agriculture minister. Health Minister Tadej Ostrc ranked sixth among the best-rated politicians, while Interior Minister Franci Matoz surged ahead by 12 positions compared to last month, surpassing Prime Minister Janez Janša and securing eighth place. Marko Lotrič, president of the Focus party and the State Council, fell to ninth place, while Anže Logar, leader of the Democrats, placed exactly in the middle of the list at tenth. Klemen Boštjančič of Freedom Movement followed him, and his party leader Robert Golob dropped to sixteenth place. Luka Mesec and Asta Vrečko, co-leaders of the Left, occupied even lower positions. At the bottom of the rankings stood Zoran Stevanović, head of the Res Publica party, who received the lowest rating among all politicians surveyed. The survey was conducted between July 20 and 23, 2026, through telephone and online interviews with 719 adults in Slovenia. The sample was representative of the population, ensuring accurate reflection of public sentiment.
