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.
The current government led by Prime Minister Janez Janša has seen its support decline according to recent polling data, with a majority of respondents expressing opposition to the ruling party's policies. The latest survey conducted by Mediana for POP TV reveals that only 36.8 percent of voters currently support the government, down from previous levels. This marks a notable shift in public sentiment, particularly following ongoing controversies involving key political figures such as Boris Mijič, a member of the Resnica party. According to the poll, if elections had taken place last Sunday, the Slovenian Social Democratic Party (SDS) would have received the highest share of votes at 22.9 percent, followed by the Movement for Freedom (Gibanje Svoboda) with 20.5 percent. The third-place finisher was a coalition list comprising NSi, SLS, and Fokus, led by Marko Lotrič, which would have secured 8.7 percent of the vote. Other parties, including the Left (Levica), the Slovenian People’s Party (SD), and the Democracy Party (Demokrati) led by Anže Logar, received lower shares, ranging from 4.8 to 6.9 percent. The Resnica party, led by Zoran Stevanović, garnered 3.5 percent, while the Slovenian National Party (SNS) received just 2.1 percent. A significant portion of the electorate, 9.7 percent, remained undecided, indicating uncertainty about future political choices. Additionally, 6.2 percent of respondents stated they would not vote for any party, highlighting a growing disengagement among some segments of the population. The survey also found that over 46.6 percent of voters oppose the current government, signaling a deepening divide within the political landscape. One of the most contentious issues highlighted in the survey was the potential resignation of Boris Mijič, a member of the Resnica party, due to alleged misconduct. A large majority of respondents, 57.8 percent, believed that Mijič should definitely resign, while another 18.1 percent thought he likely should step down. Conversely, 5.1 percent believed he did not need to resign, and 5 percent were certain he should not. Fourteen percent of respondents admitted they did not know who Mijič was, underscoring a lack of awareness or engagement with specific political figures. Among supporters of the Resnica party, there was even greater consensus regarding Mijič's potential resignation. Forty point four percent of them believed he should definitely resign, whereas 35.7 percent felt he did not need to. This suggests that internal divisions within the party could intensify if Mijič does not comply with calls for his resignation. The survey also examined public opinion on the government's decision to block the nomination of Tanja Fajon as the European Union representative for the Sahel region. Only 19.1 percent of respondents supported this move, while 34.6 percent outright opposed it. A further 9.5 percent believed the government's stance was more negative than positive, and 14.8 percent found it more positive than negative. Twenty-two percent of respondents indicated they did not know who Fajon was, reflecting a broader trend of limited familiarity with key political decisions. Public confidence in the specialized anti-corruption and organized crime prosecution office (Skok) was similarly low. Thirty-four point seven percent of respondents believed it would not effectively combat corruption, while 23.2 percent thought it might not. Twenty-one point three percent expressed cautious optimism, and only 10.4 percent were confident in its effectiveness. Ten point four percent of respondents claimed they did not know who Skok was, indicating a general lack of understanding or interest in the institution's role. Political popularity rankings revealed that President of the Republic Nataša Pirc Musar remained the most favored politician, maintaining her position at the top of the list. She was followed by SD leader Matjaž Han, who retained second place. Financial Minister Andrej Šircelj climbed to third, surpassing the previously leading NSi candidate Jernej Vrtovč and Agriculture Minister Janez Cigler Kralj. Health Minister Tadej Ostrc ranked sixth among Democrats, while Interior Minister Franci Matoz surged ahead by 12 positions, placing him eighth overall. Marko Lotrič, president of the Fokus party and head of the State Council, dropped to ninth, while Anže Logar, the leader of the Democracy Party, remained exactly in the middle of the ranking at tenth. Klemen Boštjančič, a member of the Movement for Freedom, came in 11th, and Robert Golob, his party chief, fell to 16th. The lowest-ranked politician was Zoran Stevanović, the leader of the Resnica party, who received the worst evaluation from voters. The survey, conducted between July 20 and 23, 2026, included responses from 719 adults across Slovenia through both telephone and online methods. The sample was designed to be representative of the entire population. The findings underscore a complex political climate marked by declining trust in the government, heightened scrutiny of individual politicians, and a polarized public discourse on key policy decisions. As these trends continue, the implications for future elections and political stability remain uncertain.
