If, until recently, we believed that the United States was considered a model of democracy, the major electoral fraud that comes to light has finally shattered that illusion.

Yes, the cynical distance, as the most translated Slovene writer Drago Jančar prophetically called the future new totalitarianism a quarter of a century ago, has taken on new forms. Illusions about a democratic European Union have fallen before. We can beat our heads at how naive we have been about the democratic orientation of the global left, which obviously has a strong influence on the behaviour of the European People’s Party as well. Namely, its top joins the Eurosocialists’ pursuit of “rebellious” states, and uses the “rule of law” as a pretext for a new large Freemasonry project, which the Slovenian Constitution defines with the phrase “rule of law”. Very clever. And also disgustingly perverted.

The initiators of the abuse of the phrase “rule of law” are well aware that opponents of the renewed left-wing elites, who in many countries maintained a decisive influence on the judiciary (including Slovenia!), often invoked this value. But the law is something written by a man who is not necessarily a Democrat. That is why we had the rule of law in the time of Yugoslavia, of course revolutionary.

Today, the “rule of law” is invoked by those who try to retain the influence of totalitarian remnants on the functioning of society in the transition countries of Central Europe. Hungary and Poland say that if it gets too caught up in the “holy cow” of the judiciary, the already promised financial resources from the negotiations on the EU budget will remain in Brussels. Carrot and stick then. That is also why I believe that a real storm has arisen with the publication of Prime Minister Janez Janša’s letter to the leaders of the European Union. Reactions to him from Slovene politics show that Janša, as he has done several times before, drove a stake into the wheels of their mechanism for fighting for power through Brussels. Namely, the KUL holders hoped that the changes already agreed in the distribution of European funds would help in sabotage actions against Janša’s government, but of course the Prime Minister resisted and let the European public know that the European Union has no future with such a Balkan approach to agreements. And that is very true.

In Europe, we do not need the “rule of law”, but the “rule of justice”.
