On the 24th of April Slovenia had the general elections on which for the fourth time “a new face” (the movement Liberty – Svoboda) won. During the lecture we will explain why Slovenia’s political system is unstable that on each election from 2011 “a new face” is winning the elections, but after four years the same party is at the brink to enter the parliament. Is the case of “populism” or the case that is country-specific?
