Executive Director, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition
The Slovenian referendum campaign to prevent the implementation of the Slovenian euthanasia law won by a vote of 53 to 47. Lives will be saved and people will be protected from being poisoned to death in Slovenia.
Slovenia passed a euthanasia law in July. In response a citizens group organized a signature campaign and collected 46,000 signatures enabling them to challenge the euthanasia law through a referendum.
The 53% to 47% victory overturns the euthanasia law and once again protects Slovenians from being killed by poison. Bojan Kavcic reported for the Citizen Tribune that:
Ales Primc, the head of Voice for the Children and the Family, the NGO that organised the no vote campaign, reacted to the results saying "solidarity and justice" had won.
"Slovenia rejected the government's health, pension and social reforms based on death and poisoning," Primc was cited as saying by the Slovenian news agency STA.
The referendum required at least 20% of the 1.7 million eligible voters to support the referendum. Kavcic reported that the voter turnout was 40.9% meaning that the referendum validly rejected the Slovenian euthanasia law.
The euthanasia lobby has promised to bring forth another legalization bill but the referendum result means that the government cannot introduce another euthanasia bill for at least 12 months.
The campaign followed a straight forward set of talking points and didn't get into any other issues.
The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition congratulates everyone who successfully worked on the referendum campaign and we are thankful that we had the opportunity to be intimately involved by sharing articles, interviews and video footage with the campaign.
Slovenia showed us how an organized and focused campaign can be successful even when facing a massive campaign with incredible funding from pro-euthanasia groups.

Thank you Ales, Nuno and the campaign team who enabled us to help make a difference and prevent a law giving Slovenian doctors the right to poison their citizens to death. You have shown us the way.
To put this in context, Slovenia has a population of only 2,000,000 people. They have been fighting for national identity for hundreds and hundreds of years. Defeating euthanasia is another skirmish in that combat. The link below is to a youth music program in that country, performing an iconic nationalist hymn.

Thank you very much Alex for your help in this incredible victory. Life won. the tragic examples from other countries who vital to mobilize our people. The common person took this matter very seriously after realizing the dangers that such law could bring to the country. information and a good campaign made the difference: In 2024 we lost in a consultative referendum collecting 45% of the votes, and 1 year after we won by 53%.
ReplyDeleteGood news
DeleteThe antihuman agenda behind Medical Murder is not compassion- it’s pure economics. When people are reduced to “net worth” or mere commodities, the greedy and the ruthless will have no compunction about “unaliving” them.
