Ahead of national elections, the Slovenian opposition is facing intense and, we believe, unjustified pressure. Serious concerns are mounting over the erosion of the separation of powers, the independence of state institutions, and media freedom.
Under Prime Minister Robert Golob, Slovenia has reached a critical turning point. The government stands accused of interfering in police procedures, and Golob himself is under judicial investigation. Illegal and politically motivated actions are being carried out, with the ruling party exploiting its parliamentary majority and abusing its position of power.
We strongly condemn the recent misuse of police authority in the confiscation of the mobile phones belonging to the vice-president of the SDS party, an act that took place several months before the general elections. The police and the judiciary must be independent.
Slovenia’s place must remain firmly within the European democratic tradition. The EPP will do everything in its power to prevent further harm to Slovenia’s institutions and democracy at the hands of the Golob government.
The EPP Manifesto outlines the basic principles of the Party summary.
The EPP Manifesto outlines the basic principles of the Party summarising who we are, what our values are, what challenges are we facing and what vision we have for the future. The Manifesto was developed in parallel to the EPP Platform document within the EPP Working Group 1 for “European Policy”.
The EPP Platform is the core programme of our party outlining our main values, explaining the challenges our society is facing and presenting our vision for the future of European Union.
The Party Platform was developed in EPP Working Group 1 for “European Policy” chaired by EPP President Wilfried MARTENS ?and EPP Vice President Peter HINTZE. The Working Group consists of delegates of EPP member parties who prepared and worked?on this document for more than two years and received input?from the drafting committee as well as senior and young experts. The document was adopted at the 2012 EPP Congress in Bucharest, thus replacing the Basic Programme of Athens from 1992.
