Luka Mesec, a Left party MP, has filed a criminal complaint against journalist Bojan Požar for publishing footage of the lawmaker inside his own apartment. The recording was allegedly captured by a drone, sparking a significant debate over privacy and the actions of online media portals. The government has rejected the winning design for a new memorial to independence, leaving the chosen solution for the national monument in limbo. At the same time, officials are debating the abolition of the public broadcasting fee. One proposal suggests repurposing the levy to fund a second reactor at the Krško nuclear plant, a project that has not yet been approved. The interior ministry is facing questions over the growing influence of the Maribor connection within the police force. Several associates of Franc Kangler have recently taken senior positions, leading to an investigation into alleged political influence within the force.
