🚗 Collision

A collision near Lukovica left two dead and four injured after a driver traveling in reverse on the highway struck a van. A child remains in critical condition following the crash, which has halted traffic and dominated domestic coverage. The President of the National Council, Marko Lotrič, is facing demands to resign from his own members. The political mood is further strained as Janez Janša prepares a possible censure motion and a criminal complaint against the State Electoral Commission. The final count of postal ballots has failed to overturn the narrowest of referendum results, confirming that the RTV contribution will not be abolished. The proposal was defeated by 50.03% of the vote, ensuring the status quo remains unchanged.
