Katja Kokot wrote that the right is financing the campaign with party funds and defends its positions with party members, while the Left is said to be using not only party money but also funds from non-governmental organizations, including millions from abroad, which she referred to as "Soros money." She added that the Left is also defending its positions with the support of non-governmental activists and public RTV. She asked whether this is still democracy or a competition of capital and power against common sense. She described the map of the referendum results on the amendment to the law on parliamentary inquiry as a representation of that common sense; according to her explanation, the dark blue areas voted against, while the light blue ones voted in favor. She also mentioned that at her home polling station and the surrounding ones, about 70 percent of votes were in favor of all four questions. In this context, she wondered where Slovenia is headed and whether power would belong to foreign capital, and wrote that the nation would write its own judgment. #demokracija #Slovenija #referendum (translated)

"I will impose a 250 percent tariff on your damn wine and all the crap you send us. I will impose a 250 percent tariff on your wine, your champagne, and everything you send us, Emmanuel."

He wrote that the government received the green light for the dismantling of funding for RTV Slovenia, and that the law on the parliamentary investigation is therefore less important in his opinion.

Vinko Vasle wrote that the law on parliamentary investigation has not been approved, although he claimed it was intended for a political showdown against corruption and crime on the left. He believed that the actions of the police, prosecution, and courts are more important, and called on law enforcement to start honestly investigating at least the cases of Golob and Janković. He argued that this could also lead to actions against others whom he labeled as part of a mafia-corrupted politics at various levels. Vasle highlighted the delay in taking action as a serious challenge and stated that everything is quiet regarding SKOK. He mentioned the arrests in Romania and the investigations into attempts to bribe some MPs of the Resni.ca party as a possible starting point. #korupcija #politika #pravosodje (translated)
Katja Kokot noted that the amendment to the law on parliamentary investigations was passed in June, and non-governmental organizations then collected signatures and submitted them in September. She added that there followed 30 days of campaigning, during which the Constitutional Court made a decision in September that, in her view, changed the situation. She believed that the court essentially agreed with the purpose of the law, which was intended to prevent the halting of parliamentary investigations through appeals to the Constitutional Court. #parlament #zakonodaja #UstavnoSodišče (translated)
The SDS thanked the voters who, in its opinion, understand that their vote is the strongest democratic tool. It stated that the campaign once again demonstrated the influence of propaganda on public opinion. According to its words, some represented the parliamentary investigation of political officials as political police, while the political police in the past resorted to imprisoning, persecuting, and killing people. SDS added that Slovenia has a lot of work ahead for greater resistance to propaganda in order to reach the level of developed democracies. #demokracija #volitve #propaganda (translated)

She believed that the political actors she had insultingly labelled could be investigated under the previous law, while the other three referendums were, according to her, consultative.

Luka Svetina wrote that the turnaround in the referendum on the parliamentary inquiry indicates that the propaganda on March 8 about the alleged "political police" scared the oldest voters, aged 65 and older, which polls seem to suggest. He assessed that the opponent does not choose means, so the coalition should prepare for a similar campaign regarding the intervention law. According to him, they would communicate to voters that retirees would be left without pensions, salaries in the public sector would be reduced, while Blaž Brodnjak would have more money. He wished the coalition good luck. #referendum #politika #upokojenci (translated)
