Slovenia narrowly upholds parliamentary investigation law
Slovenians voted in a referendum on whether to overturn the Law on Parliamentary Investigation adopted in May 2026. Reports indicate the law was narrowly upheld, with a roughly 51% to 49% split.
Why it matters
The near-even result reflects deep polarisation over parliament's oversight powers under Prime Minister Janez Janša.
Background
Slovenia allows citizens to force referendums on laws passed by the National Assembly. Janez Janša is a veteran conservative leader whose governments have been politically divisive.
