And my feeling is that he will end on his own, his own regime.

And I hope this will happen.

Another question which we always have in that kind of countries is will elections be fair?

and will actually like not be stolen.

For Slovenia particularly like losing Orban in Hungary means that Janša will lose a lot of money and a lot of funding for the system around him.

A lot of media have been bought with Hungarian money in Slovenia.

It was always like very connected regime.

So we are watching this with a lot of excitement.

And I also think that like imagine the whole picture of the Europe

In three weeks, if we have like a centrist government in Slovenia and a centrist government in Hungary, like it would mean like a huge change for the Europe and also for the vibe of the whole continent.

I don't know what will happen, as I said, but it's the biggest amount of hope so far.

And I always hold on to the hope in that kind of situations.

Yeah, a couple of things.

So this is my second get out and vote campaign and the second campaign where we managed to defeat Janša at least by the amount of votes.

And in both campaigns, it was super important that I was spending time with people from other countries.

that I understood what happened in India, that I understood what happened in Russia, in Belarus, in other places.

On the first campaign, it was important because I needed to understand that authoritarians have a playbook and that they always play by the same rules, that they attack the media, that they help other friends, that they attack independent institutions, that they threaten you.

In these elections, why it was important that I have all of you in my life is because I could recognize the pattern and I could understand that what is happening.

It's not a whistleblowing campaign.

It's not a referendum about corruption, but it is like fucking foreign interference in elections, which happened in other places.
