Una strategia per obbligare gli sloveni ad aderire alla NATO
La Slovenia deve entrare nella NATO, volente o nolente. I parlamentari
sloveni, sottoposti a pressioni spaventose da parte dei poteri
euroatlantici, pensano allora di indire un referendum in fretta e
furia. Maggioranza ed opposizione stanno correndo contro il tempo per
far passare una legge che attribuisca un significato vincolante (non
solo consultivo) ai risultati di tale referendum.
Come e' noto, la popolazione slovena e' ben poco entusiasta della
eventualita' di un inglobamento nella NATO, ed e' previsto che in caso
di aggressione contro l'Iraq l'"indice di gradimento" della NATO sia
destinato a crollare ulteriormente. Il referendum sara' pertanto
accompagnato da una campagna mediatico-psicologica pesantissima, e
dovra' svolgersi prima dell'inizio dello sterminio del popolo iracheno
per essere vinto a tutti i costi, anche se "per il rotto della
cuffia", con un "SI" a favore della NATO. Per mischiare le acque e
confondere i votanti e' possibile che contestualmente gli sloveni
siano chiamati anche ad esprimersi sull'ingresso nella UE. (I. Slavo)

Slovenia's parliament to pass law for NATO referendum
-[T]he government was seeking to hold a referendum as
soon as possible, fearing that an eventual US
intervention against Iraq could provoke a drop in
public support for NATO membership.
Public support for NATO membership is the lowest in
Slovenia among all the countries that have been
invited to join.
LJUBLJANA, Jan 8 (AFP) - Slovenia's parliament is to
pass a law to make a referendum in the former Yugoslav
republic on joining NATO binding on the government,
Slovenia's parliamentary speaker Borut Pahor said in
Ljubljana on Wednesday.
According to current law, such referendums are not
binding on government or parliament but the opposition
wants this changed, while the government is anxious to
have the vote by the end of March.
"We will try to bridge the differences between the
government, which wants the NATO referendum to be held
by March 30, and the opposition, which wants the
referendum to have a mandatory character - through a
special law on NATO accession," Pahor said after a
meeting of the parliamentary party leaders.
At its summit in Prague in November, NATO invited
Slovenia and six other former communists countries to
join the Alliance by 2004. An accession agreement is
expected to be signed in April.
Slovenia's government on Monday urged parliament to
call a referendum on NATO membership for early
February or, at the latest, on March 30.
"I would like to warn that our time is running out and
I personally grant you that we will carry out the
referendum by the end of March or the beginning of
April," Prime Minister Anton Rop said the following
day.
But the opposition objected that a referendum with
only an advisory character could be ignored by the
government if it [the parliament] decided against
joining NATO.
The newspaper Delo said in a comment Wednesday said
the government was seeking to hold a referendum as
soon as possible, fearing that an eventual US
intervention against Iraq could provoke a drop in
public support for NATO membership.
Public support for NATO membership is the lowest in
Slovenia among all the countries that have been
invited to join.
The government has also considered holding a
referendum on joining the European Union at the same
time as the NATO vote, but no decision has yet been
made.
Slovenia is among 10 candidate countries slated to
join the EU in 2004.
