Slovenia

In Slovenia problem is in fact that transition from communism to democracy didn't really succeed. Capitalist model was embraced, but all political systems and subsystems remained in hands of communist party. Many Slovenians, about 10 % of population, lived relatively well under communism, as they belonged directly to the ruling untouchable class - communist party. They had cars, houses, vacation houses, education abroad, other luxury that others couldn't even imagene, all for free. These people didn't have to pay for electrical bills or vacations, for example. They owned luxury as members of so called New Class. If you want to understand it deeper, Milovan Djilas published book New Class in the States, if I'm not mistaken. He was dictator's right hand but became political disdident. Another moment why transition from communism to democracy failed in Slivenia is also because Slovenian nation is small, it numbers only approximatelly 2 millions if population. To strenghten their power after collapse of Yugoslavia, Slovenian communists, now under different name, started agressive policies of inviting immigrants from ex yugoslavia, notably from republics that supported communism strongest. Large part of Slovenian population now exists from Serbs from Serbia, Kosovo and Bosnia&Hercegovina, who are the most loyal voters for communist and their political satelites in Slovenia. About 50% of population in Slovenia doesn't have Slovenian roots or they come from nationalky mixed marriages. Among them, Serbs are prevailing group. Even in Serbia they don't mention communist dictator Tito anymore, but in Slovenia you have every year public events praising totalitarian system and it's iconography and whole state leadership is present on them. It is bad, what to say. We have elections on April 24th and hopefully, majority will say no to communist beast. But nation is firmly divided around this, it is amost 50 % for commies and t0 % against commies. Two weeks ago, one of political party leaders that supports communism went to gather votes in sovereign states Bosnia& Hercegovina, and Serbia. This is where majority of their voters come from. They made sure that families of these immigrants live on taxpayers back here in Slovenia. Wifes don't have to work and get state support, so do children, for period of 5 years after coming into country. They aren't even obliged to learn language. Do who wouldn't vote commies if they can live on rich state supports?
