Abstrakt
In the search for a way out of the 1980s crisis, there were differences both between the leaders of the six Yugoslav republics, and between the authorities and their intellectual critics. In Slovenia, public criticism of the authorities emerged in the punk subculture, in magazines, books and films. Since 1982, open letters and petitions with signatures were published in newspapers, proposing changes to certain laws. Some new social movements found support in the youth organization (Union of Socialist Youth of Slovenia) and in the Slovenian Writers’ Association, so that the activities did not take place in illegal forums. In January 1985, intellectuals and people from the state structures debated both cultural and clearly political issues on a public platform for the first time. Since, in the opinion of Slovenian intellectuals, the League of Communists of Slovenia did not react strongly enough to the centralist pressure from Belgrade, they themselves organized a public tribunal on constitutional changes (1987) and the need for a new Slovenian constitution (1988). Since the Slovenian authorities did not prevent this kind of activity by the Slovenian intellectual opposition, it was criticized by other Yugoslav republics for allegedly supporting “counter-revolutionary” forces and “separatists.”
