History The Pirate Party of Slovenia and its original founder Robert Pal first appeared in the Slovenian media in 2009. Until 2012, the party stayed in relative obscurity with only a small circle of active members, mainly discussing current events on the copyright front.
On 12 March 2011, with a unanimous vote, the party entered Pirate Parties International.
In 2012 the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) controversy and Occupy movement sparked the new wave of activity, the party attracted new members and became more visible.
