We, Socialists! () is a Slovenian political party founded by Miha Kordià ¡, a current MP and former activist, together with his supporters. The founding congress was held on 16 November 2025 in Ljubljana, where Kordià ¡ was elected as the partyâÂÂs first president.
In September 2022, the party The Left selected Kordià ¡ as its presidential candidate in the 2022 Slovenian presidential election. He failed to advance to the second round, receiving 2.8% of the vote (just over 24,500 votes).
In May 2023, a faction within The Left, led by Kordià ¡, called for a âÂÂNew Deal,â arguing the party had moved too far to the centre after entering the government coalition. Kordià ¡ unsuccessfully ran for party coordinator in September and said the party must not âÂÂforget its roots.âÂÂ
In February 2024, The LeftâÂÂs parliamentary group proposed removing him from all parliamentary committees, accusing him of abuse of position and coercion. His membership was suspended in November 2024, which he described as a âÂÂpurge of the left wing.âÂÂ
Kordià ¡ was formally expelled from The Left on 10 March 2025. He announced the creation of an informal socialist initiative that would later become a political party.
The party-in-formation was originally to be named *Left Wing*, but in April 2025 Kordià ¡ announced the final name: *We, Socialists!*.
In May and June 2025, the movement took part in anti-militarization protests in Ljubljana and supported an initiative for a referendum on defence spending increases proposed by the government. It also supported efforts to call a referendum on the governmentâÂÂs pension reform, which ultimately failed due to insufficient signatures.
The founding congress was held on 16 November 2025 at the Sokolski dom Tabor in Ljubljana. In his address, Kordià ¡ advocated for the abolition of the capitalist system, combatting the climate crisis, and strengthening the working class. The party emphasized withdrawal from NATO, sanctions against Israel, and a 'peace-oriented' foreign policy regarding the war in Ukraine.
Prominent attendees included poet Svetlana MakaroviÃÂ, activist Jaà ¡a Jenull, former health minister Duà ¡an Keber, and former ombudsman Matjaà ¾ Hanà ¾ek. The congress also elected the partyâÂÂs presidency and adopted its statute and manifesto.
