Demokracija is a Slovenian language weekly news and political magazine published in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
History and profile
Demokracija was founded in January 1990[1] as a dissident and pro-Spring magazine.[2] The magazine is published weekly on Thursdays.[3][4] Its headquarters is in Ljubljana.[3]
Demokracija has a center-right and conservative stance.[5][6] In its early days the weekly was considered to be close to the Slovenian Democratic Union.[1]
The magazine focuses on political news in Slovenia and in the world, but also covers sections about history, culture, film, sports and entertainment.[4]
In July 2017, Ripost, a Hungarian media company, obtained a majority share in Demokracija's parent company, Nova obzorja. Ripost has deep ties to the ruling political party in Hungary and its prime minister, Viktor Orbán. The Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) has retained a 42% share in the parent company. Ripost is also a significant shareholder in another media company tied to SDS, Nova24TV.[7]
