Background
The extra-parliamentary parties DeSUS and Good State already joined forces for the 2024 European Parliament elections. Their joint list, headed by veteran journalist Uroš Lipušček, received 14,988 votes or 2.22% of the total.[3][4]
Shortly after the election, Vlado Dimovski was elected the new president of DeSUS and announced his goal of returning the party to the national parliament.[5] In pursuit of this goal, he began discussions with Good State, officially announcing the merger in April 2025.[6]
At the founding congress of the Party of Generations on 17 May, Dimovski was elected president, while the former leader of Good State, Smiljan Mekicar, became one of the vice presidents. In his address, the newly elected president stated that the merger was motivated by a vision to connect all generations, emphasizing that advocating only for the rights of one generation is not enough.[7] On 3 February 2026, the Party of Generations announced its electoral cooperation with the extra-parliamentary party Greens of Slovenia, led by Andrej Čuš. The party presidents announced their joint candidate list at a press conference on the same day, highlighting the care for all generations, the fight against corruption, a stable and healthy economy, and care for the environment among their related programmatic principles. The alliance's slogan became "Choice for All Generations". In his address, Dimovski said that these were "two traditional parties and strong centrist forces without the background of a deep state," who would deal with "serious issues of the development of Slovenian society."[8]
