Slovenia is not an intimate option for leftists

The article discusses the decision by Slovenia's new government to revoke the right of foreigners to vote in local elections. It criticizes the left-wing opposition for opposing this move, calling it unconstitutional, while highlighting the broader ideological stance of leftists who advocate for granting extensive rights to immigrants. The piece argues that if leftists apply their logic consistently, they would need to grant minority rights to numerous other ethnic groups, including Germans, Czechs, Slovaks, and others, based on historical coexistence within various empires. This argument is used to question the sincerity of left-wing claims about multiculturalism and inclusion, suggesting that such policies could lead to the dissolution of Slovenia. The author concludes by referencing a leftist leader’s statement that Slovenia was never an 'intimate option' for him, implying that his supporters might not truly support Slovenia’s sovereignty.

Read in Democracy magazine: Funding of left-wing activists, foreigners from third countries fighting for the right to vote

These groups claim that proposed legal changes would restrict political freedoms of residents who arrived before 24 years ago. The article notes that 33 non-governmental organizations signed this statement, some of which are surprising. It then investigates the funding sources of these organizations, revealing that many are associated with supporters of illegal immigration and extreme-left activists. The piece highlights specific organizations that stand out, including cultural associations and NGOs focused on human rights and scientific criticism. The article concludes by encouraging readers to support the magazine’s commitment to media diversity.
