Europe and the world know many nations that do not have their own state and thus no sovereignty. Slovenia achieved this when in 1991 it got rid of the last soldier of the disintegrating Yugoslavia, whose hostage had been the Slovene nation since 1945, and even earlier we were trapped in the SHS from 1918, which in 1929 passed into the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

From the dictionary of the Slovene standard language we can understand or explain that actual sovereignty for a person means high exaltation. In addition to political sovereignty, which defines independence and sovereignty and authority in a territory (including territorial integrity), we also know the sovereign behaviour of an individual based on self-confidence… Certain roles can be played by a person or group and ultimately by nations. On the basis of awareness and the peak of self-confidence in the independence processes, the Slovenian nation played its decisive role in sovereignty for sovereignty.

In the Slovenian nation, there is a charge of national consciousness, a charge of pride and a charge of victory. It may be taking a little nap at the moment, but napping is not a deep sleep. All those who have returned or have always remained on the paths of the old glory of deceiving and putting the nation to nothing, should be aware that when a Slovene clenched his fist, it is strong and invincible.

On Sunday, October 25th, Slovenians proudly celebrated their Sovereignty Day. We won it with our determination and first brought the opponent to his knees, then to his back (knockdown), and then with a one-way ferry ticket. We became independent and drove a foreign army from our territory. On the night of October 26th, 1991, military columns of the defeated marched towards Koper, and soon after midnight the outlines of their departing vessels became smaller and smaller until they completely disappeared.

As every year, on this day there were a large number of posts on social networks about events happening almost thirty years ago, when we sovereignly achieved sovereignty, which indicates the fact that the Slovenian nation still has a lot of elation and desire to remain sovereign. That’s when we set a good and unique set. The long-time occupiers of Slovenia and freedom of spirit left defeated and ashamed. We are sovereign, let us be aware of this! All this confirms the thesis that the Slovenian nation will live a long time and defend its sovereignty when it is most needed. Maybe this day is near, as some events and conditions show, but the hope remains that it will not be necessary. The vigorous nation survives, which we Slovenes have proven over the centuries, and the guarantee of sovereignty is not only a reflex, it is also state-building and is the result of unity in the efforts for it.

It is not self-evident, it is necessary to work for it, but my people remain strong, stable and sovereign! So far, nothing has destroyed it, not even the bloody communist revolution after World War II. This was stopped by the nation and the Slovene army and police by the persecution of the occupying army, which was a continuity of the revolutionary. The revolution lasted until the system changed, and some are still trying to continue it today. Thank God that all of them are in opposition today, and they are still running out of breath there.

Given the aforementioned, we can say that we have another continuity. This is the policy of the League of Communists, living in the incubator of the Social Democrats. They are still fuelled by a stolen legacy of ideology, effort, and material foundation. At the time of independence and the subsequent rush to assimilate into international integrations and revive the economy, an important task was pushed aside. We have not definitively cut through the situation from the previous regime. We democratically allowed the communists to gain the right to cultivate social democracy in Slovenia and we were given a political option, which itself declares the proud successors of the League of Communists.

Thirty years later, this political option, the strongest so far at this time, is shaking the ground under its feet. After the loss of authority, its power, which has been maintained all this time in the economy, culture, humanitarian activities and elsewhere, where there is a (too) strong influence of social scientists and philosophers, has decisively reduced. Areas that were pushed aside during the time of the predominantly left-wing authorities are gaining importance. That is, all this time a neglected economy with small and medium-sized enterprises, which are promised new opportunities through debureaucratisation, reform of tax services and, last but not least, a possible change in the retirement system. All of this will take away the incompetent and once we all profit it will give strength to those who are creative and eager to progress.

The same is promised to the media, the judiciary, corrupt police officers and other defenders of continuity who have dominated so far. Thus, sovereignty in Slovene acquires a new meaning. The one that Slovenia deserves.
