I have more great news from Slovenia.

The Slovenian Supreme Court has upheld the results of the assisted suicide referendum that rejected the Slovenian assisted suicide law.

The Slovenian parliament legalized assisted suicide in July 2025. After the passing of the poison bill, a group of citizens organized by Aleš Primc, of the Slovenian Voice for Children and Families, collected 46,000 to require a referendum on the assisted suicide bill.

On November 23, 2025, the Slovenian people rejected the assisted suicide law by passing the referendum by a 53.46% margin.

Following the successful referendum vote, a court challenge was launched claiming irregularities in the referendum campaign.

On March 24, 2026, the Slovenian Supreme Court rejected the challenge to the referendum results and decided that there was no proof that any alleged irregularities had a significant impact on the vote and its outcome.

Aleš Primc, told the European Conservative that:

I am convinced that a miracle happened. In recent years, the media often published manipulative emotional stories in favor of assisted dying and polls in the final week suggested less than 30% of the public opposed it. We won the referendum with 53.46%.
