Slovenian National Party
The Slovenian National Party ( Slow Slovenska Nacionalna stranka, SNS) is a political party in Slovenia. Its chairman is Zmago Jelinčič.
Political orientation
The SNS was established in 1991 and represents an independent Slovene nationalism, where they are in their party platform explicitly to Karantanija the former Duchy of Carniola and the anti-fascist struggle for liberation of Slovenians against German National Socialism and its allies Italy and Hungary, as well as against their former Slovenian collaborators ( Slovensko domobranstvo ) refers. The party leader Jelinčič had a statue of Tito, the " son of a Slovenian mother and winner of World War II ", set up in his garden. The SNS is committed to a strong military and a strong Slovenian economy, the allocation of jobs to foreigners in favor of the Slovenes should be limited. An important role in the party ideology and as a campaign issue also play the Slovenian minorities in neighboring countries as well as border disputes with Croatia and Italy. The Roma in Slovenia are privileged by the SNS view; therefore calls on the SNS for the abolition of " special rights of the Roma " in local government.
Due to this anti- foreigner, Roma and the neighboring states positions the SNS is associated with the extreme right party spectrum of Western European scientists. The party chairman Zmago Jelinčič described the party as politically left standing, this classification is partly accepted in Slovenia due to a different understanding of the political spectrum in the scientific literature, while the classification as a right-wing extremist in the German - and English-language literature is unanimous.
