SLOVENJA 2--A Radical Party delegation will take part in the Alliance of Socialist Youth of Slovenja (ZSMS) Congress which will begin on November 3, in Portoroz. The dialogue between young Sovene Socialists and the Radical Party, which has been going on for some time--we must not forget that it was thanks to them that the PR was invited to hold part of its January Federal Council meeting in Bohinj--find in the issues which will be discussed at the Congress and in the new independent role that the ZSMS intends to take in the elections and in Slovenja, a new point of agreement and common commitment to the campaign for the union of the peoples of Europe, for the growth of democracy and the removal of "Real Socialism" and "Real Democracy". On January 6 of this year, in Ljubljana, young Socialists presented Marco Pannella with a membership card to their organization and, now that they are to become a new autonomous and democratic party, they will certainly find in the Radical Party that comprehension and cooper

ation necessary for transforming the syntony of ideas into common actions. The Radical delegation will be made up of Sandro Ottoni, Vitomir Cezmadzinskj and Marino Busdachin.
