At the beginning of the Blejski Strateški Forum (BSF) in Bled, a protest was held by non-governmental organizations who accused the Slovenian government of becoming a 'political colony' of Israel, which they claim has gained a 'vassal state' within the European Union. Protesters criticized Prime Minister Janez Jansa for allegedly placing Slovenia's interests under personal and foreign interests, specifically those of Israel. They demanded his resignation along with the entire government.

A group of activists under the banner of 'Glas ljudstva' organized a protest on September 2, 2026, targeting MP Borislav Mijić and his coalition. The demonstration, attended by around two thousand participants, called for Mijić's resignation, the resignation of the entire government, and early elections. Protesters also announced a campaign against government laws set to be voted on in upcoming referendums. Organizers reported that over 15,000 people signed a petition demanding Mijić's resignation, citing his loss of credibility due to past treatment of workers. Syndicalist organizations emphasized that Mijić's case is part of broader issues like unpaid wages and illegal dismissals. Former Minister Dušan Keber linked the protests to opposition to interventionist legislation, accusing the government of dismantling the social state. Activists also criticized Prime Minister Janez Janša, calling him responsible for systemic problems.

Protestniki na Bledu so se udeležili v demonstraciji ob začetku Blejskega strateškega foruma, kjer so očutili, da vlada Slovenije sodeluje z Izraelom, kar imajo za posledico, da 'postane politična kolonija Izraela'. Udeleženci so predstavili lutko izraelskega premierja Benjamina Netanjahuja in obsodili nedavne poteze vlade v smeri zbliževanja z Izraelom. Premier Janez Janši je bil očitan za 'veleizdajo', ker bi podredil interese države osebnim interesom in interesom druge države. Protestniki so zahtevali odstop premierja in celotne vlade, kar je povezano z obžalovanjem izraelskega vedenja v Gazi, kjer so po njihovih ocenah ubili preko 73.000 ljudi in ranili preko 173.000. Predstavnici organizacij kot so Protestna ljudska skupščina in Gibanje za pravice Palestincev so opozorili na neposlušnost vlade in zahtevali, da Slovenija ne podpira genocida, apartheida, kolonializma in imperializma.
