'Democratic Opposition of Slovenia (DEMOS coalition)' was created by uniting the
Slovenian Democratic Union, the
Social Democrat Alliance of Slovenia, the
Slovene Christian Democrats, the
Farmers' Alliance and the
Greens of Slovenia. All these parties emerged after December 1989, when the
Communist government permitted
multiparty political life in
Slovenia.
The leader of the coalition was the famous
dissident Jože PuÄnik.
In the subsequent democratic elections in April
1990, DEMOS won 54% of the votes.
As a result of internal disagreements the coalition fell apart in April 1992, when the government of
Lojze Peterle collapsed and a new coalition government was formed, led by
Janez Drnovšek.
