The third victory was donated by the SDS coalition

“The proposers achieved a three -time victory. The first was that they managed to convince 92 percent of people who came to a referendum that they voted against. Nobody expected such a very high plebiscite percentage. Another victory is that they managed to reach a quorum, not for a couple of votes, but they have exceeded it well. The third, sweetest victory was given to them by the ruling coalition, with the exception of the SD, « commented political scientist Miro Haček.

“The SDS is a party that has most often been accused of quite democratic approaches in our country. The current coalition has been given a mandate just on the basis of promises to eliminate certain undemocratic procedures. By calling for non -participation, they themselves showed that they were the same or even worse. It was a move that was the greatest nonsense in the political strategy. It would be correct to call for voters for a referendum and to be aware that something is ever lost in politics and that this is not a crazy disaster. The more they would be paid to lose in this way and minimize this loss. But now they have given the SDS tools to remind them of peaceful souls of undemocraticity, « Haček warned.

However, he does not expect any special political consequences, at least not in the short term. “The law was rejected, in substance it is a minor case, in this respect, much will not change for the government. However, they will probably have to be aware that this self -esteem, which has been shown in recent weeks, may have been a little shattered and that it will probably need some consideration, how to proceed until the end of the term. Maybe even early elections. By going to the election quickly, various new forces that occur, such as Vladimir Prebilic, Anže Logar and the like, would make the path to a good result, « the political scientist said.

The vote also showed that the feeling that the coalition is still in control of the Slovenian political and media space is not true. “Understanding the policy that is used in the movement of freedom, partly in the left, and less in the SD, is basically wrong. Just like they understand politics, it leads to an inevitable defeat in the next parliamentary elections. I do not necessarily think that by the SDS, but also possible challengers in the middle of the political space. This is a consideration that the coalition will have to do, « said the political scientist, who praised the SD, » who this time raised a strategically wise move, and because they are built, a traditional and serious party; They understand politics and that you cannot call on people not to attend democratic tools such as a referendum. « 

In his opinion, it is very likely that someone will be a « sinful goat », and that this will probably not be the one who designed the boycott strategy. “They can point their finger at the Minister of Culture. This would not hurt the pigeon, as he would still have a majority in the National Assembly and would position himself more in the middle before the elections, « thinks Miro Haček.
