Slovenians have voted against a bill that would have expanded the powers of parliamentary inquiry, marking a significant setback for Prime Minister Janez Jansa’s reform agenda. The referendum, held on Sunday in Slovenia, resulted in 51 percent of voters opposing the proposal, with 49 percent in favor. Nearly all votes have been tallied, confirming the outcome as binding. Opposition groups had strongly criticized the bill, labeling Jansa’s broader agenda as “authoritarian”. This rejection represents a challenge to the nationalist Prime Minister's governance and his attempts to reshape Slovenia’s political landscape. The result indicates considerable public resistance to the proposed changes. This outcome could force a reassessment of Jansa's reform priorities.
