Janez Janša’s government is preparing to reform the judiciary, a move that would not only change court procedures but also allow the state to monitor private phone communications. Trade unions are already preparing a referendum to block the intervention law, anticipating what they describe as an aggressive campaign.
The Health Ministry is also facing scrutiny over a law that appears to have been written by external interests to accelerate the sale of alcohol and tobacco. Public trust in the legal system remains brittle: one social worker is accused of demanding a €2,000 bribe from an asylum seeker to influence a judge, while MP Mijič has reportedly been spotted in a €6,000 luxury watch while owing money to his workers.
The population is increasingly feeling the strain. Stress levels are rising sharply, particularly among women, and heavy rainfall in the southwest has left vehicles stranded in floodwaters. The political climate remains polarized ahead of several referendums, with the choice being framed less as a policy debate and more as a question of tribal loyalty.

Slovenia is heading to elections for the first time since Prime Minister Janez Janša's government took office, with the ruling party expected to win. This outcome is attributed not to strong support for Janša's policies but to the effectiveness of emotional manipulation, which has become commonplace.
