There is a lot of speculation whether Slovenia might be the third EU Member State to join Hungary and Poland in their specific view of the rule of law. Does the current Slovenian government present a threat to constitutional democracy? Lacking a convincing majority in the Parliament and facing other veto points, the Slovenian government uses tactics of constitutional hardball in order to disrupt the existing norms of the constitutional order.
