The parties presented their programme on 17 February 2026, at which point they predicted a third-place finish and 15 parliamentary seats.
Economy and taxation The policy guidelines were presented by Marko Lotrič. Emphasis was placed on reducing the tax burden on labour, simplifying the
tax system and increasing the competitiveness of the economy. Among the central proposals is the gradual increase of the general
income tax allowance from €5,620 to €8,000, with a further increase to €10,500 by 2029. The programme envisages the introduction of a simple and transparent lump-sum tax regime for entrepreneurs and the restoration of higher revenue thresholds for lump-sum taxpayers, whereby the limit of average annual revenue for full lump-sum taxpayers would rise from €120,000 to €150,000. The parties also propose the introduction of the status of student sole proprietor and the removal of restrictions on pensioners working while retaining their full pension (the so-called double status). A reduction of the long-term care contribution from 2% to 1% for entrepreneurs and the abolition of this contribution for pensioners are also proposed. In the field of sick leave compensation, the programme envisages that the
HIIS would cover compensation from the 7th day of absence for farmers and sole proprietors, and from the 20th day for all other employees.
Healthcare The policy guidelines were presented by Tina Bregant. The healthcare programme announces a reform of the system with a strengthened role for public healthcare. A key priority is shortening waiting times by using all available capacities and introducing payment for healthcare services according to volume or achieved results. The programme envisages a clearer definition of rights under compulsory health insurance and the transformation of the HIIS into a more transparent and efficient health insurer. It also provides for the debureaucratisation of the system, the use of artificial intelligence for data analytics and the establishment of interconnected healthcare registries. Special emphasis is placed on strengthening the primary level of
health care, standardising information infrastructure and ensuring adequate equipment for service provision. Among the infrastructure projects, the parties announce the establishment of an academic quarter centre with the most advanced treatment methods, the organisation of functional helicopter emergency medical assistance across the entire country, the systemic regulation of palliative care, the start of construction of a new building for the
Ljubljana University Medical Centre and the modernisation of the
Maribor University Medical Centre.
Infrastructure and transport The policy guidelines were presented by Jernej Vrtovec. The NSi, SLS, FOKUS programme in the field of infrastructure is based on the principle of "people before transit", prioritising the daily mobility of residents over freight traffic. Among the key projects is the establishment of a high-speed rail connection between Ljubljana and Maribor, with the goal of reducing travel time to less than one hour. The programme also proposes the expansion of the main access roads into six-lane roads and the development of regional expressways to improve accessibility and traffic safety. It includes the establishment of a single decision-making centre for projects of national importance, which would accelerate the implementation of infrastructure investments. In the field of energy, the start of construction of the second unit of the
Krško Nuclear Power Plant is announced.
Regional development The policy guidelines were presented by Marko Lotrič. The parties' programme announced measures to reduce development disparities between different parts of the country; among the central proposals is the introduction of provinces, to which part of the competences and state funding would be transferred, with the aim of enabling more effective regional decision-making. The guidelines include directing more European funds to less developed regions, relocating part of public services, including some ministries, from Ljubljana to other regions, and strengthening regional development centres. The parties advocate simplifying procedures for obtaining European funds and digitalising project applications.
Demography The policy guidelines were presented by Jernej Vrtovec. NSi, SLS, FOKUS advocate improving conditions for young people and families and increasing housing accessibility, with the introduction of a 95-percent state guarantee for the purchase of a first home by young people; free kindergarten for all children is also envisaged. The programme includes tax relief for families with children and the introduction of 12-month tax holidays upon first employment. In the field of education, changes to the school system are announced, with greater emphasis on developing critical thinking and practical skills such as computer and financial literacy.
Agriculture and the countryside The policy guidelines were presented by Tina Bregant. The programme defines
food security as a strategic goal of the state, with an emphasis on achieving at least 80-percent self-sufficiency in key food products. Reducing import dependence, promoting short food supply chains and prioritising the use of Slovenian food in public institutions are highlighted. The parties of the alliance support strengthening family farms, improving their position in the food chain and developing the forest-wood chain, which would increase added value and create new jobs in the countryside. The programme includes the protection of fertile agricultural land from construction, the reduction of administrative and tax burdens and the strengthening of the social security of farmers. Investment in modern technologies, support for young farm successors and adaptation to
climate change are also announced. == Parties ==
