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)

He stated that in his choice, he supports a division between the capable and the incapable, or the diligent and the lazy, rather than between "ours" and "yours." He believed that Beočanin has demonstrated vision and achieved results in leading the municipality in recent years. According to Štrancar, his development plans would position Ajdovščina at the center of technology development in Central Europe and enable the exchange of experts on a global level.
