Slovenian PM Robert Golob proposes a referendum on NATO membership, sparking political divisions and domestic criticism.

Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golob is facing criticism after proposing a consultative referendum on NATO membership and defense spending. Parliament voted in favor of a referendum on increasing defense spending to 3% of GDP, but Golob suggested another referendum to decide NATO membership, sparking controversy in the coalition. Politicians and experts believe the move is risky and could have unforeseen consequences, including external influences and a potential Brexit-like outcome.
