48 MPs voted against the proposed resolution put forward by the SDS, while 19 MPs voted for the proposal. TV Slovenija reports that the SDS decided to go ahead with the resolution, through which the National Assembly would have called on the government to fulfill all its commitments from the coalition agreement. The SDS is convinced that the government is not fulfilling its commitments and is consequently causing damage to the state, which can be seen in its lagging development.

In line with the SDS resolution the National Assembly would have voiced its agreement with the assessments made in the coalition agreement signed in 2014 by the SMC Modern Centre Party, the SD Social Democrats, and the DeSUS Pensioners’ Party. The assessments pointed out that in recent years Slovenia had become a society in which "the positive foundations of social cohesion were disintegrating, and as a society it has no perspective, is not trustworthy and full of manipulation". "A society, in which humanity is no longer a goal or value, but only a means for those fueled by a greed for power and money," it wrote.

The SDS Democrats assess that the conditions today are still the same as described by the coalition partners two years ago. SDS president Janez Janša pointed out that the government was buying good PR for bad work through taxpayer money, and accused it of taking credit for the achievements of others. Those submitting the no-confidence motion said they did not demand that the government starts fulfilling the program of the SDS party, but stressed that they do demand that it does "everything that it promised to do to the Slovenian public".
In his response, PM Miro Cerar rejected all the accusations and called the no-confidence government motion unnecessary. He said the ruling coalition was governing the country in a clear, public and transparent way, and that it was reporting everything it did to the public and National Assembly. Cerar continued to say that the government was fulfilling its coalition agreement to a much larger extent than what the SDS claimed, and that some of its projects would be realized at the very end of its mandate.
The government is to be credited for the country’s economic growth; it has succeeded in attracting foreign investors and has regained Slovenia’s international reputation. "That is why we will continue on our development-oriented and progressive path," said PM Cerar.
