On Sunday, Slovenians will vote to decide on the application or suspension of the law on assisted suicide, adopted in July.

On Sunday, Slovenian citizens will participate in a referendum to decide whether the law adopted in July, which legalizes assisted suicide, will be implemented or suspended. This initiative was generated by a civic group supported by the Catholic Church and the conservative opposition, which gathered 40,000 signatures to block the law's implementation. The law allows terminally ill patients who suffer unbearably to request medical assistance to end their lives, excluding cases of mental illness. Prime Minister Robert Golob has encouraged support for the law, while the Catholic Church has criticized it. Approximately 1.7 million citizens are called to vote, and polls show that 54.3% of voters support the legalization of assisted suicide. If the law is suspended, Parliament can propose a new bill after 12 months.
