Abstract

Questions about democracy in Slovenia among other things show how the Slovenian residents feel about democracy. Do people even see Slovenia as a democratic society? Does democracy in Slovenia even works? How much trust enjoy the president of the republic, parliament, government, political parties, judiciary and the army? How much does democracy mean to people? What kind of opinion prevails on alternatives to democracy, such as the rule of a strong leader or the rule of experts? Is democracy according to the Slovenes' opinion really the best form of government for all countries in the world? It is also shown to what changes have come compared to the last year. Among the current issues it was examined what proportion of the population of Slovenia believes that Janša received commissions from the arms trade. It was also presented what people think about the publication of archival documents on the functioning of the former State Security Service, the extent to which they feel SDS treatment in this regard was correct, negligent or intentional manipulative; how after the publication of documents they see Türks statements that he was aware of the assassination in Velikovc only from media. It is also shown the extent to which current events are affecting relationships among parties and current government support.
