The Slovenian National Party ( Slovenian Slovenska nacionalna stranka , SNS ) is a political party in Slovenia . Its chairman is Zmago Jelinčič . She has been represented in the Slovenian Parliament from 1992 to 2011 and again since 2018.

Political orientation

The SNS was founded in 1991 and represents an independent Slovene nationalism , whereby it explicitly refers in its party program to Carantania , the former Duchy of Carniola and the anti-fascist liberation struggle of the Slovenes against German National Socialism , against its allies Italy and Hungary as well as against their Slovenian collaborators at the time ( Slovensko domobranstvo ). The party leader Jelinčič had a statue of Tito , "the son of a Slovenian mother and winner of World War II", put up in his garden. The SNS is committed to a strong military and a strong Slovenian economy, whereby the allocation of jobs to foreigners should be limited in favor of the Slovenes. The Slovenian minorities in neighboring countries and border disputes with Croatia and Italy also play an important role in the party ideology and as an election campaign issue . The Roma in Slovenia are privileged according to the SNS; therefore the SNS calls for the abolition of “special rights of the Roma” in local government.

Because of these positions directed against foreigners, Roma and the neighboring states, the SNS is assigned to the spectrum of right-wing extremists by Western European scientists. The party chairman Zmago Jelinčič described the party as politically left-wing, this classification is partly adopted in the academic literature in Slovenia due to a different understanding of the political spectrum, while the classification as right-wing extremist in German and English-language literature is unanimous.

history

In 1992 she entered the Slovenian parliament , where she was represented continuously until 2011. Due to the discovery of some of its prominent members as former Yugoslav secret service -Spitzel in 1993 some members split off and formed under the leadership of Sašo Lap (* 1953), the party Slovene National Right ( Slovenska Nacionalna Desnica ).

In Austria, the party made headlines in February 2006 with its appeal to the European Court of Human Rights , with which the SNS wanted to ban the BZÖ because it disregards the rights of the Carinthian Slovenes .

Number of mandates in the Slovenian National Assembly :

On January 6, 2008 three of the six MPs left the party and founded their own parliamentary group called Lipa (Linde).
