The government is entering the student work market. The Employment Service Agency will divert mediation fees into scholarships, which could generate €14m a year. Separately, drivers face a record fuel price increase on Tuesday. Public broadcaster RTV Slovenia was denied a liquidity loan by Hungarian bank executives shortly after they reportedly visited Prime Minister Janez Janša. Meanwhile, the fiscal council calculated that the government's "Managerial Shield" law predominantly benefits the wealthy. In Piran, plans for a multi-million euro palace sale linked to associates of Franci Matoz have been stalled by a regulation from 1977. Addressing parliament, Mr Janša stated that under international law, no genocide is occurring in Gaza. Elsewhere, polling suggests MP Luka Mesec may force a second round in Ljubljana's mayoral elections. In Domžale, a man was kidnapped and beaten following the theft of Kalashnikovs and cocaine.
