Democratic Opposition of Slovenia (DEMOS coalition) was created by uniting the Democratic Alliance of Slovenia, the Social Democrat Alliance of Slovenia, the Slovene Christian Democrats, the Farmers' Alliance and the Greens of Slovenia. All these parties emerged after December 1989, when the Communist government permitted multiparty political life in Slovenia.

In the subsequent democratic elections in April 1990, DEMOS won 54% of the votes.

As a result of internal disagreements the coalition fell apart in April 1992, when the government of Lojze Peterle collapsed and a new coalition government was formed, led by Janez Drnovšek.
