The US National Security Strategy is all over the EU’s omnibus legislation - why is Slovenia supporting it?
Ljubljana 08/12/2025 - The United States National Security Strategy indirectly calls for government change in Europe, dismantling the European Union and for the US to dominate our economies.

Ljubljana: A city for people or a city for cars?
If we look across Europe, we see metropoles trying to transition into the 21st century and create more liveable cities. Ljubljana and its traffic planning go in the opposite direction: create more space for cars - like with the propose traffic overflow road cutting through Štepanjsko naselje and Nove Fužine already proposed in 2010. We are asking why?
Novo Mesto: How to prevent further tragedies?

Chat Control: Why is Slovenia just abstaining?
Ljubljana 29/09/2025 - Even though 72% of Europeans oppose chat control, the EU Commission's initiative risks passing in the October 14th member state vote.

Bled Strategic Forum: Smaller EU member states need to think bigger
The recent 20th Bled Strategic Forum showed three things: (1) the future of the European Union is discussed on and beyond its eastern borders, (2) the largest member states dictate the EU’s foreign policy agenda but are absent and (3) a Forum that can set exclamation marks should not shy away from challenging the status quo.

A referendum on NATO membership - seriously?
Volt Slovenija would have liked the government to push for Eurobonds or European defense integration to allow us to reach 5% or any percentage above 2% of GDP on defense spending while protecting our social welfare state. Instead, the government is holding a referendum on Nato membership - the latest in a series of misuse and disrespect of referendums by parliament.
