Main Political Parties

Slovenia is a parliamentary republic with a multi-party system. The major parties in Slovenia are:

- Freedom Movement (GS): centre to centre-left, party to the ruling coalition government
- Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS): centre-right
- Social Democrats (SD): centre-left
- The Left (Levica): eco-socialist
- New Slovenia (NSi): centre-right, pro-European

Other parties include:
- Democratic Party of Slovenian Pensioners (DeSUS): centrist, party to the ruling coalition government
- Slovanian National Party (SNS): slovenian nationalism
- Alliance of Social Liberal Democrats (ZSD).

Executive Power

The President of Slovenia is the head of state, elected by popular vote for a five-year term, which can be renewed once. The President's role is largely ceremonial, serving as the country's symbolic leader and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. After parliamentary elections, the President consults with party leaders and nominates a candidate for Prime Minister, usually the leader of the majority party or coalition. The National Assembly then elects the Prime Minister, who serves a four-year term. The Prime Minister is the head of government, responsible for the implementation of laws and managing the day-to-day affairs of the country. The Prime Minister also nominates members of the Council of Ministers (cabinet), which are then confirmed by the National Assembly.

Legislative Power

The legislature is bicameral in Slovenia. The parliament consists of:

National Assembly (the lower house) with 90 seats; 88 members are elected through proportional voting, while 2 members are elected by ethnic minorities. Members serve four-year terms.
National Council (the upper house, more like an advisory body) with 40 seats; its members are elected indirectly, representing social, economic, professional, and local interests, and serve five-year terms.

The National Assembly is the most important power center in the country. The executive branch of government is directly or indirectly dependent on the support of the National Assembly. The Prime Minister cannot dissolve the parliament; only the President can do so under specific circumstances.

Indicator of Freedom of the Press

Definition

Definition:

The world rankings, published annually, measures violations of press freedom worldwide. It reflects the degree of freedom enjoyed by journalists, the media and digital citizens of each country and the means used by states to respect and uphold this freedom. Finally, a note and a position are assigned to each country. To compile this index, Reporters Without Borders (RWB) prepared a questionnaire incorporating the main criteria (44 in total) to assess the situation of press freedom in a given country. This questionnaire was sent to partner organisations,150 RWB correspondents, journalists, researchers, jurists and human rights activists. It includes every kind of direct attacks against journalists and digital citizens (murders, imprisonment, assault, threats, etc.) or against the media (censorship, confiscation, searches and harassment etc.).

World Rank:: 36/180

Indicator of Political Freedom

Definition

Definition:

The Indicator of Political Freedom provides an annual evaluation of the state of freedom in a country as experienced by individuals. The survey measures freedom according to two broad categories: political rights and civil liberties. The ratings process is based on a checklist of 10 political rights questions (on Electoral Process, Political Pluralism and Participation, Functioning of Government) and 15 civil liberties questions (on Freedom of Expression, Belief, Associational and Organizational Rights, Rule of Law, Personal Autonomy and Individual Rights). Scores are awarded to each of these questions on a scale of 0 to 4, where a score of 0 represents the smallest degree and 4 the greatest degree of rights or liberties present. The total score awarded to the political rights and civil liberties checklist determines the political rights and civil liberties rating. Each rating of 1 through 7, with 1 representing the highest and 7 the lowest level of freedom, corresponds to a range of total scores.

Ranking:: Free
Political Freedom:: 1/7
