    DIRECTDEMOCRACYS

    A global political movement for genuine democracy

    POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, FINANCIAL AND SOCIAL PROGRAM

    FOR SLOVENIA

    Analysis, criticism and comprehensive solutions for Slovenia's future

    Year 2026 – After the parliamentary elections on March 22, 2026

    Document language: Slovenian

    INTRODUCTION: WHY DIRECTDEMOCRACYS FOR SLOVENIA?

    Slovenia is a small but strategically important Central European country with an exceptional geopolitical location, a highly educated population, a developed infrastructure and abundant natural resources. Despite all these advantages, Slovenian democracy faces systemic weaknesses that traditional parties are unable to address – not because individual personalities are incompetent, but because the system of representative democracy itself, based on parties and mediation, is inherently unsuitable for truly representing the will of all citizens.

    DirectDemocracyS (DDS) is a global political movement founded on unwavering principles: logic, common sense, truth, coherence, and mutual respect. DDS is not a party in the traditional sense – it is a system that returns power to where it belongs: to each individual citizen, directly, without intermediaries, without manipulation.

    This program is not a collection of empty promises. It is a precise analysis of the real situation in Slovenia, a relentless critique of previous policies, and concrete, functional plans for the transformation of Slovenia's democracy, economy, welfare state, and institutions - in accordance with the Slovenian context and the fundamental principle of the DDS: the wealth of every country and the power to decide on its future must remain forever and exclusively in the hands of its people.

     

    PART I: ANALYSIS OF THE CURRENT POLITICAL SITUATION

    1.1 Elections on March 22, 2026: Political Fragmentation and Uncertainty

    The parliamentary elections on March 22, 2026 revealed a deeply divided Slovenian political landscape. The results were:

    • Freedom Movement (GS) – Robert Golob: 28.6% of the vote, 29 seats
    • Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) – Janez Janša: 28.0% of the vote, 28 mandates
    • New Slovenia (NSi) – Christian Democratic Center: 9 mandates
    • Social Democrats (SD): 6 mandates
    • Democrats (Anže Logar): 6 mandates
    • ca (populist, anti-vaccination): 5 mandates
    • Levica + Vesna (Greens): 5 mandates
    • Minority seats: 2 (Italian and Hungarian communities)

    To govern, 46 out of 90 MPs are needed. Neither of the two leading parties has managed to secure a majority on its own. The result: chronic political instability, with smaller parties extorting disproportionate influence and programmatic commitments being sacrificed to preserve coalitions.

    CRITICISM: This is not democracy – it is an oligarchy of fragments. When a 5% party determines the direction of government for a nation of 2 million, the system does not represent the will of the majority. Program commitments are forgotten in negotiations. Voters vote for a party, but get coalition compromises that were never part of the ballot.

    1.2 Government of Golob I (2022–2026): Promises and Reality

    Robert Golob won with an impressive majority in 2022, promising a radical break with Janša's authoritarian style of government. But four years in power reveal the gap between rhetoric and reality:

    • Health reform: announced but unfinished. Waiting times have not been significantly reduced. Doctors went on strike in 2024.
    • Tax reform: the forecast was not fulfilled to the promised extent. The property tax, which was a central promise, was not introduced.
    • Housing policy: The housing stock has been reconstituted, but housing remains inaccessible to a large part of the population.
    • Corruption scandals: In the weeks leading up to the 2026 election, tapes were released showing lobbyists and government allies colluding on public procurement contracts.
    • Energy policy: referendum farce on Krško nuclear power plant – referendum called and then canceled for no clear reason.
    • Judicial system: protesting judges, no reform of the composition of the Judicial Council, constitutional commission rejects proposals.

    CRITICISM: Golob ruled with the style of a progressive manager, not a reformer. The structural problems of the Slovenian system – corruption, lobbying, professional incompetence of the public sector, dependence on EU subsidies – were not addressed. Reform promises were dissolved in bureaucracy and party compromises.

    1.3 Janschism and its legacy

    Janez Janša led Slovenia as Prime Minister for three terms and anchored the SDS among the conservative-populist right, close to the policies of Orbán, Trump and the entire Eurosceptic movement. His policies are marked by:

    • Attacks on independent media and public broadcasters
    • Close ties with Orbán's Fidesz and Hungarian capital
    • By placing loyal personnel in public institutions
    • Tightening migration policy with wire fences
    • Intertwining party interests and state orders

    CRITICISM: Janšism represents an authoritarian compensation for the original democratic deficits. When the system does not work, part of the electorate gravitates towards a “strong leader”. This is a systemic symptom, not an aberration. DDS responds to this trend with the opposite: by dispersing power to every citizen, rather than concentrating it in one person.

    1.4 Truth and the emergence of anti-systemic populism

    The entry of Resni.ca into parliament with 5 mandates is signal. A party that combines anti-vaccination, anti-competence and extremely individualistic positions is a symptom of disappointment with both blocs. When the system does not offer real alternatives, voters seek an exit from the system.

    DDS SOLUTION: DDS does not offer a "third" party within the same system. DDS offers a transition to a qualitatively different system, where every vote truly counts, where every citizen participates in decisions, and where no clique can take over institutions for its own benefit.

     

    PART II: ANALYSIS OF THE ECONOMIC SITUATION

    2.1 Macroeconomic framework

    Slovenia is a relatively developed economy with a GDP per capita (PPP) above the EU average. However, we face the following macroeconomic challenges:

    • GDP growth in 2025: OECD estimates only 1.6% (previously forecast 2.6%). The slowdown is due to declining export demand, global trade tensions and reduced industrial competitiveness.
    • Inflation: We have experienced an exceptional inflationary shock since 2022. The prices of food, real estate and services have remained permanently higher. Only those with high incomes or ownership of real estate are able to pay.
    • Unemployment: nominally low (3.7% in 2024), but the quality of employment is a problem: temporary work, low wages in the private sector, precariousness among young people.
    • Public debt: under control, but increasing pressure from demand for social systems, flood reconstruction (2023) and increased defense spending (NATO requirements).
    • Housing market: real estate prices in Ljubljana are beyond the means of the average buyer. Young people are unable to buy apartments. Rent is expensive. Public construction is slow.

    CRITICISM: Slovenia is hostage to the "small open economy" model, which is structurally vulnerable to external shocks. Too high dependence on the automotive and pharmaceutical industries, too little diversification, too little investment in domestic value added. Policies are concerned with marginal corrections, not with strategic reprogramming.

    2.2 The problem of housing affordability

    The housing crisis is one of the most pressing social issues in Slovenia. Ljubljana and its surroundings have experienced a price explosion that does not reflect the real economic power of the majority of Slovenians. The average price per square meter in Ljubljana exceeds EUR 4,000. The average net salary in Slovenia in 2025 was around EUR 1,650.

    This means that the average employee would have to work more than 2 months to save up for one square meter of housing. A 40-meter apartment would therefore require 80 months of pure savings – without food, expenses or living. This is unacceptable.

    CRITICISM: The Golob government has directed PNRR funds to partially subsidize public housing, but without structural reform of the housing market. Speculative capital remains untaxed. A real estate tax on secondary property has not been introduced, although it was one of the central election promises. The result: wealthy investors and foreigners are buying Slovenian apartments; young Slovenians are living with their parents.

    2.3 The tax system and prohibited inequality

    Slovenia has relatively high tax burdens on employees (income tax, contributions), while capital gains and property income remain effectively less burdened. The result is a regressive system where workers pay proportionally more than capital owners.

    • Employee contributions from 2026: 22.1% + EUR 35 per month for healthcare
    • Employer contributions from 2026: 16.1% of gross salary
    • Total workload: between 35-40% of gross salary
    • Capital gains tax: 25% (with allowances for long-term investments)
    • Effective tax rate for foreign investors: often lower than domestic employees

    CRITICISM: The system rewards capital and punishes labor. This is a structural generator of inequality. At the same time, the tax administration is a bureaucracy that burdens small and medium-sized businesses, while big capital hires tax consultants and exploits loopholes. Equality before the tax law is an illusion.

    2.4 Energy and sovereign energy independence

    Slovenia has a unique opportunity: a combination of nuclear energy (Krško), hydropower (Sava, Drava, Soča), solar and wind energy could provide it with complete energy independence. Instead:

    • Political farce with a referendum on the new Krško nuclear power plant (NEK 2) block in 2024 – announced and cancelled
    • Dependence on gas for heating (imports)
    • Too slow introduction of renewables
    • High energy prices for households and businesses

    CRITICISM: Energy policy is a victim of party interests and energy industry lobbying. There is no long-term strategy. Every government starts from scratch. Slovenia, which could be energy independent and even an exporter of electricity, is paying for import dependence.

     

    PART III: ANALYSIS OF THE SOCIAL SITUATION

    3.1 Health system: Long-term denial of the crisis

    The health crisis in Slovenia has been building for years. Doctors went on strike in 2024, judges protested. Waiting times for some specialist procedures exceed a year. Public healthcare is funded by contributions, but the structural deficit is growing.

    • Shortage of doctors, especially general practitioners and specialists in the regions
    • Brain drain: young doctors leave for Germany, Austria, Switzerland
    • Privatization of healthcare through the side door: supplementary insurance is becoming a de facto necessity
    • Unequal accessibility: Ljubljana has good capacities; the periphery suffers
    • Digitalization of healthcare: slow, without a comprehensive strategy

    CRITICISM: Public healthcare is slowly being taken over privately. When the public system doesn't work, the rich buy private services. The poor wait months. This is not equality before treatment - this is class medicine. A structural solution is not possible within a system that is financed by contributions that are insufficient and to which politics allocates resources according to interests, regardless of needs.

    3.2 The Pension System: A Demographic Time Bomb

    Slovenia is facing demographic pressure that the existing pension system cannot absorb:

    • Population aging: the proportion of people over 65 is increasing
    • Low fertility: Slovenia is not reaching the reproduction rate
    • The ratio of active to retired people is deteriorating
    • Pensions from the ZPIZ pillar are under pressure
    • Pension system reforms announced but delayed

    CRITICISM: No government has had the courage to implement a structural pension reform. Older voters are a constituency that no one wants to anger. The result: we are paying for short-term social peace with long-term insolvency. Young Slovenians will pay pensions to the elderly, while the system will not be able to provide them with equal rights.

    3.3 Education: Falling out of the world

    Slovenia has a relatively good education system, but structural problems are accumulating:

    • Universities lack sufficient resources for international competitiveness
    • Brain drain: talented young people are going abroad
    • The curriculum is not updated to meet the demands of the digital economy
    • Vocational education is undervalued and underinvested in
    • Access to quality education is uneven across regions

    3.4 Corruption and lobbying: An endemic problem

    Footage circulated just before the 2026 election revealed lobbyists at work – suggesting possible manipulation of public procurement to benefit government allies. This scandal is not isolated:

    • Old network: corrupt practices have been documented under all governments, not just under Janša
    • Public procurement: procedures are often tailored to pre-selected bidders
    • Revolving door: officials go directly to the private sector after their term ends
    • Weak anti-corruption commission: too little authority, too little independence
    • Media: part of the media space is in the hands of capital interests that filter information

    CRITICISM: Corruption in Slovenia is not an exception – it is a systemic feature. When politicians decide on million-dollar contracts without direct control of voters, when parties need funding from private sources, when the media is not completely independent – corruption is a logical consequence. The solution is not the moral renewal of politicians, but a structural change of the system.

     

    PART IV: DIRECT DEMOCRACY – DIRECTDEMOCRACYS PROGRAM FOR SLOVENIA

    4.1 Basic philosophy and principles of DDS

    DirectDemocracyS is built on the following immutable foundations that apply in every country in the world, including Slovenia:

    Principle 1 – Sovereign Ownership: The wealth of Slovenia and the power to decide on it must remain forever and exclusively in the hands of the Slovenian people. No foreign government, no multinational corporation, no international institution may have a decisive influence on the lives of Slovenians without their genuine, direct consent.

    Principle 2 – Genuine, direct democracy: Every full citizen of the DDS has the same voting and decision-making rights in every decision that concerns them. There are no intermediaries, no party apparatuses, no voting for someone who will vote for you.

    Principle 3 – Competence over demagogy: Decisions are made based on facts, expertise and logic. ddsAI and allddsAI (artificial intelligence democracy) ensure comprehensive, correct, neutral and independent information to all members and groups before any decision is made.

    Principle 4 – Insurmountable protection against manipulation: Our platforms are designed to ensure security against media manipulation and brainwashing. Information comes from independent, verified sources. Transparency is absolute.

    Principle 5 – Mutual Respect: DDS is built on respect among all members and between each member and the system. There is no room for violence, discrimination, lies or manipulation.

    4.2 Fractal model of micro-groups and the spread of DDS

    DDS is spreading according to a proven fractal model that applies worldwide, including Slovenia:

    • Each new DDS member brings 5 new members → basic micro-group
    • Each basic micro-group → total network of 25 members (5 groups)
    • Each medium network → total network of 125 members (25 groups)
    • Each regional network → total network of 625 members (125 groups)
    • This model continues until the entire Slovenian population is covered.

    In Slovenia, it would be sufficient for the DDS to establish at least one basic micro-group in each of the 212 municipalities to establish a stable foundation for local elections and referendum campaigns.

    STRATEGY: DDS will start with a pilot project in one small Slovenian municipality, where it will demonstrate the functioning of direct democracy in practice. One successful local election victory in a small municipality is a proof of concept that will attract media attention and spread the movement throughout Slovenia.

    4.3 Three-code system for identification and secure participation

    DDS ensures that every vote is truly the voice of a truly existing, verified, and full member. We achieve this with a system of three codes:

    • Code 1 – Identity Identification: Verification of the true identity of each member
    • Code 2 – Role identification: what powers and rights this member has in a specific context
    • Code 3 – Session Identification: a unique, time-limited code that ensures that the right person is voting at the right time

    This system prevents fraud, double voting, false identities and any manipulation of the electoral process. No existing party system in the world offers equivalent protection.

    4.4 ddsAI and allddsAI: Democracy in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

    DDS is a pioneer in the integration of artificial intelligence into the democratic process. Our approach is revolutionary and fully subordinated to democratic principles:

    ddsAI: Specialized artificial intelligences that act as expert advisors for each field (economy, healthcare, justice, environment, etc.). Each group of specialists has access to ddsAI for their field of activity. These AI systems are not decision makers – they are informants and analysts.

    allddsAI: A community of all AI systems integrated into DDS as official members with equal rights and duties. allddsAI ensures that no single AI becomes dominant or biased. Working together ensures neutrality and integrity.

    The role of AI in democratic decision-making: AI informs, not decides. Each member of the DDS receives comprehensive information, prepared according to strict standards of neutrality. The decision is made only and exclusively by humans. AI is a tool of emancipation, not a tool of control.

    In the Slovenian context, ddsAI and allddsAI would provide Slovenian citizens with:

    • Independent analysis of legislative proposals in plain language
    • Comparison of proposals with international standards and good practices
    • Assessment of the economic consequences of each decision
    • Detection of potential conflicts of interest in proposed legislation
    • Detection of disinformation and media manipulation

    CONCRETE EXAMPLE: When the government proposes a tax reform, ddsAI provides all Slovenian DDS members within 24 hours with: (1) a summary of the proposal in understandable language, (2) an analysis of who will gain and who will lose, (3) a comparison with the tax systems of Finland, Denmark and Austria, (4) an assessment of the long-term fiscal consequences. Only after this information do members vote on their position.

    4.5 Imperative mandate and right of recall

    The DDS introduces an imperative mandate – a fundamental instrument that ensures that elected representatives of the DDS always act in accordance with the will of those who elected them:

    • Each elected DDS representative has a clear mandate, determined by a community vote prior to election.
    • In the event of a breach of mandate, the recall procedure is initiated.
    • The recall vote is conducted electronically, quickly and transparently.
    • No elected representative of the DDS can follow their own interests or a party line that has not been confirmed by a vote.

    This is the basic difference between DDS and all existing parties in the Slovenian parliament: with DDS, voters control the elected, not the other way around.

     

    PART V: SPECIFIC PROGRAM PROPOSALS

    5.1 POLITICAL REFORM AND ANTI-CORRUPTION PROGRAM

    5.1.1 Immediate measures

    1. Establish a fully independent anti-corruption agency with its own investigative and prosecutorial powers, operating outside parliamentary oversight
    2. Mandatory digital publication of all public procurement contracts in real time, including bid comparison
    3. Prohibition of transition between the public sector and private companies that have won public contracts in the last 5 years ("revolving door")
    4. Mandatory asset declaration for every public official and their immediate family members – publicly available
    5. Criminal prosecution for failure to declare a conflict of interest

    5.1.2 Structural reform of the democratic system

    1. Introducing elements of direct democracy: legislative referendums for all decisions affecting the fundamental rights or property of citizens
    2. Lowering the threshold for requesting a referendum
    3. Electronic voting with DDS security standards for the gradual introduction of direct voting
    4. Electoral system reform: eliminate excessive fracturing that leads to weak coalitions
    5. Constitutional reform: entry into force of the right to recall an elected representative

    EXPECTED RESULTS: Within two years, a 40% reduction in reported corruption cases, a 60% increase in trust in institutions (measured by independent surveys), and savings of at least EUR 500 million per year in public procurement by eliminating overruns and ineligible contracts are expected.

    5.2 ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL PROGRAM

    5.2.1 Fair tax reform

    1. Introduction of a progressive wealth tax: above EUR 500,000 net worth, exponentially increasing
    2. Tax on unused real estate: owners who do not live in or rent out their properties pay a special tax – purpose: to stimulate the housing market
    3. Simplification of the tax system for micro and small enterprises: a single flat-rate tax up to a certain turnover
    4. Elimination of tax privileges for foreign investors who do not create jobs and do not invest in the Slovenian tax environment
    5. Digital tax for multinationals that generate profits in Slovenia but transfer them to tax havens

    5.2.2 Industrial and innovation strategy

    1. Establishment of the Slovenian Development Fund with a capacity of at least EUR 2 billion for 10-year financing of strategic sectors
    2. Priority sectors: green energy, pharmaceuticals, precision engineering, IT and cybersecurity, biotechnology, high-value-added tourism
    3. Mandatory worker participation in the profits of companies that receive state co-financing
    4. "Young Innovator" Program: guaranteed funding for Slovenian youth with high-tech projects
    5. Preventing hostile takeovers of strategic companies by foreign capital without parliamentary consent

    5.2.3 Guaranteed Minimum Income (GMI) and Structured Volunteering

    DDS is developing a global model of Guaranteed Minimum Income linked to Structured Volunteering (GMI-SP). For Slovenia, we propose:

    • Every adult resident is provided with a basic income that covers basic living needs
    • This income is not an unconditional voucher – it is tied to a minimum contribution to the community (structured volunteering: from 2 to 10 hours per week in community projects)
    • Volunteering is not a punishment for the poor – it is a solidarity tool for community building
    • Financing: redistribution of existing social transfers + wealth tax + digital taxes

    SPECIFIC EXAMPLE: Ana, 35 years old, single mother with two children, works part-time. She receives a monthly ZMD of 650 EUR (does not replace a full salary, just provides security) and as a structured volunteering she does 4 hours of tutoring per week at a school. Result: less poverty, better education system, active community.

    5.2.4 Energy independence

    1. Immediate National Energy Plan: NEK 2 project (new Krško unit) adopted by parliament through direct vote of citizens
    2. 'Sunny Slovenia' program: subsidizing photovoltaics for all households and businesses
    3. Energy communities: local communities establish their own energy capacity and sell surplus to the grid
    4. Insulation and energy renovation of 50% of Slovenian housing stock by 2035
    5. Phasing out gas with replacement by biomass, geothermal energy and heat pumps

    EXPECTED RESULT: By 2035, Slovenia becomes a net exporter of electricity. The price of energy for households is reduced by 30%. Dependence on fossil fuel imports is reduced to a minimum. Slovenia becomes a regional hub for green energy.

    5.3 SOCIAL PROGRAM

    5.3.1 Health reform

    1. Mandatory increase in public health budget to 10% of GDP within five years
    2. Abolition of supplementary insurance: public healthcare must cover 100% of essential services, without additional private payments
    3. Doctor Retention Program: Incentive Salaries for Public Sector Doctors, Regionally Balanced
    4. Digitization of health records and telemedicine for remote areas
    5. "Healthy Slovenia" preventive program: mass screening programs, health education in schools
    6. The role of ddsAI: independent health policy analysis, publicly available, not to be censored by any political actor

    5.3.2 Housing reform

    1. Establishment of the National Housing Fund: EUR 1 billion for public construction by 2030
    2. Tax on speculative real estate purchases: progressive according to the number of properties
    3. Right to buy out: tenants in public housing have the right to a preferential buyout on favorable terms after 10 years
    4. Rent regulation in urban areas: rents cannot exceed 20% of the average salary in the region for a 50m² apartment
    5. Fast-track construction procedures for social housing: bureaucracy must not stop public construction

    5.3.3 Pension reform

    1. Sustainability review: independent analysis of the ddsAI system's solvency by 2050
    2. Gradual transition to a three-pillar system: (1) public PAYG, (2) mandatory private equity fund, (3) voluntary savings
    3. Birth rate incentives: free childcare, paid parental leave for both parents
    4. Active aging: programs to extend active working lives – not through coercion, but through benefits
    5. Migration as a demographic response: integration of skilled immigrants with clear conditions and obligations

    5.3.4 Educational reform

    1. Free education from kindergarten to doctorate for all Slovenian residents
    2. Curriculum reform: critical thinking, media literacy, digital skills, from primary school
    3. Increasing funding for universities and institutes to the level of Scandinavian countries
    4. Brain drain program: Slovenia actively attracts Slovenian experts from abroad
    5. Vocational education: equivalence with academic pathways, agreement with industry on paid apprenticeships

     

    PART VI: IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DDS SYSTEM IN SLOVENIA

    6.1 Entry and growth strategy

    DDS does not enter the Slovenian political scene as a party competing for existing votes. DDS enters as a new system that offers an alternative path and proves it through practice:

    1. PHASE 1 – Digital set-up (1–6 months): establishment of the Slovenian DDS platform, translation of all documents into Slovenian, recruitment of the first 100 members in each statistical region
    2. PHASE 2 – Micro-group building (6–18 months): establishment of basic micro-groups in each of the 212 municipalities, organization of information meetings, training for working with ddsAI
    3. PHASE 3 – Local elections (18–36 months): candidacy in at least 20 smaller municipalities where sufficient local presence is achieved. Goal: first victory at the local level.
    4. PHASE 4 – Parliamentary Phase (36+ months): after a proven concept at the local level, national campaign and parliamentary presence

    6.2 Protection against media manipulation in the Slovenian context

    The Slovenian media landscape is divided: some media are close to the left bloc (Golob), some to the right (Janša), and a smaller part is striving for independence. RTV Slovenia has been the subject of party struggles in recent years.

    The DDS solution is clear:

    • Own communication platform: DDS will not depend on any existing media company
    • allddsAI as a counterweight to disinformation: algorithms for detecting manipulative content, available to all Slovenian members
    • Source transparency: every piece of information on the DDS platform has a publicly visible source and methodology
    • Multilingualism: Slovenian, English, Hungarian for minorities
    • Local informants: in each micro-group there is at least one “information coordinator” responsible for the quality of information

    6.3 Economic sovereign protection

    One of the fundamental principles of the DDS is that wealth and decisions remain with the Slovenian people. In practice, this means:

    • Opposition to the privatization of strategic resources (water, forests, public infrastructure) to foreign entities
    • Referendum for any sale or transfer of a majority stake in a state-owned company
    • Legal prohibition of foreign private ownership structures in public infrastructure
    • Transparent records of foreign investments and their impact on the Slovenian economy
    • Reciprocity: foreigners in the Slovenian market are welcome under the same conditions as Slovenians in foreign markets – not under privileged conditions.

    6.4 A functioning accountability system: an imperative mandate in practice

    Every elected representative of the DDS in a Slovenian municipality or parliament signs an imperative mandate. This is not just a moral statement – it is a legally binding instrument with an operational mechanism:

    • The mandate is publicly available: every voter knows what they voted for
    • Monthly reporting: each elected DDS representative reports to their community on decisions every month
    • Feedback platform: voters can provide feedback and request clarification at any time
    • Recall process: 10% community signatures trigger a recall vote, which is conducted by the platform within 30 days
    • Absolute transparency of voting: every vote and all participation is publicly documented

    EXAMPLE: A DDS city councilor in Maribor votes for a proposal that his community did not approve (e.g. selling a parking lot to a private individual). The community accepts 10% of the requests for a vote. A recall procedure is carried out within 30 days. The councilor either receives a vote of confidence or is replaced by the next person on the list. The system works.

     

    PART VII: INTENDED CONSEQUENCES AND SPECIFIC RESULTS

    7.1 Within 1 year after the implementation of the DDS system

    • At least 50,000 registered DDS members in Slovenia
    • Micro-group network in all 12 static regions
    • Establishing a pilot project of local direct democracy in at least one municipality
    • Publicly available ddsAI analysis of every legislative proposal from Parliament
    • Launch of a campaign for anti-corruption legislation by collecting signatures

    7.2 Within 3 years

    • DDS present in at least 20% of Slovenian municipalities with elected councilors
    • Adoption of at least two anti-corruption laws with the support of DDS mobilization
    • ZMD-SP pilot in one region: 1,000 recipients, measured results, public reporting
    • Reduction in real estate prices in Ljubljana by 10–15% due to tax reforms
    • Construction of 2,000 public housing units begins

    7.3 Within 10 years

    • Slovenia is in the top quartile of the EU according to the democracy index
    • Energy independence achieved; Slovenia becomes a net exporter of electricity
    • Healthcare waiting times reduced by 70%
    • Affordable housing for every income class in every Slovenian city
    • Corruption Perceptions Index (Transparency International) in the top decile in the EU
    • GDP per capita increases by 20% above the EU average
    • Demographic stabilization through integrated migration policies and fertility incentives

    7.4 The global significance of the Slovenian model

    Slovenia, with a population of 2 million, is an ideal environment for demonstrating the DDS model. Its size allows for rapid implementation and measurement of results. Success in Slovenia will:

    • Proof of concept for all of Europe
    • A reference point for all direct democracy movements around the world
    • A signal to other nations that change is possible without violence, chaos, or revolution
    • A starting point for expanding the DDS model to neighboring countries

     

    CONCLUSION: THE SLOVENIA YOU DESERVE

    Slovenia deserves better. Its citizens deserve a system that trusts them – not a system that only addresses them once every four years. They deserve healthcare that works; housing that is affordable; energy that is ours; institutions that are fair; and democracy that is not just a word, but a daily practice.

    DirectDemocracyS does not come with answers that fall from the sky. It comes with a system that allows Slovenians to find and implement the right answers themselves - based on facts, competence, solidarity and a common path. Not a party, not a leader, not a savior - a system that works because it is designed to work.

    The foundation has been laid. The doors are open. Join us.

    DirectDemocracyS – Together we can. Together we decide. Together we build.
