   • 2024 December 27, Grega Repovž, Uvodnik / Nevarni časi‎^[1]:

     Slovenija dobro ve, kaj je populizem. Videli smo, kaj je naredil na območju bivše Jugoslavije. Da, to je bil populizem. Čeprav spomin bledi, se je koncept slovenskega upora proti populizmu ohranil. In se danes kaže na te inovativne načine. Kar je zelo dobro.

     Slovenia knows well what populism is. We saw what it did in the former Yugoslavia. Yes, that was populism. Although memory fades, the concept of Slovenian resistance against populism has been preserved. And it is manifested today in these innovative ways. Which is very good.
