Gregor Golobič: These are sects

Former politician Gregor Golobič assesses Prime Minister Robert Golob's current political standing as significantly weakened following electoral defeats, describing his situation as a "knockout."

“

Parties that emerged as parties of new faces are not parties. I told them to their faces. They are sects.

Golobič also sharply criticized political parties that emerged as "new faces," asserting they are not true parties but rather "sects." He cited the former Modern Centre Party (SMC) led by Miro Cerar as an example, calling it "Miro Cerar's sect, not a party of the modern center."

He revealed that he had previously advised Robert Golob on legislative matters but emphasized he does not offer unsolicited advice. Golobič confirmed that Golob had indeed sought his opinion in the past.

“

SMC was Miro Cerar's sect, not a party of the modern center.

Furthermore, Golobič believes the current coalition government, led by Janez Janša, is considerably more stable than many political analysts suggest, even leaving open the possibility of it retaining power for more than one term. He advised the opposition to form a unified "shadow government" to be named "Partnership for Development."

“

I do not give advice that no one asks me for.

Golobič also stated that "Janšism" has become the dominant political pattern in Slovenia. He clarified that "Janšism" is not tied to an individual but represents an ideological hegemonic discourse in Slovenian politics, observable in nearly all parties with few exceptions on the left.

That's right.
