This article discusses the citizenship practices of the victims of the erasure and interprets these practices as emancipation processes: the erased used grass roots and legal means to attempt to obtain the right to dignity, the right to stay and the right to compensation for their ‘lost years’. The effects of their struggle went beyond matters of mere utility: by publicly defining themselves as ‘the erased’ and acting upon injustice; the erased challenged the boundaries of citizenship in terms of membership and content.

The article looks into the regulation of social policy in relation to other policies in Slovenia, the political parties’ approach to socio-political issues, the public opinion on these issues, and present approaches to social care. The subordination of social to economic policy increasingly undermines the welfare state, one of the most important social inventions of the previous century. As a consequence, Slovenia has now found itself in a situation in which not one political party's program calls for the autonomy of social policy, with socio-democratic political parties being no exception in this respect. It is precisely this reason – rather than the economic crisis – that brought about the current erosion of social policy in Slovenia.
