An explosion in the Fužine neighborhood has investigators looking for a mafia confrontation, bringing the internal logic of the underworld to the capital's streets. Meanwhile, the public is being asked to turn its attention to the ballot box as early voting begins for a quartet of referendums on Sunday.
The referendums cover everything from a controversial bill to the future of the public broadcaster's funding. While media professionals weigh the end of the RTV Slovenia fee, Minister Vrtovec would ban the burqa. The Islamic community noted the garment is rarely seen in the country; its presence in the cabinet's priorities is viewed as an attempt at political mobilization.
The government is facing several questions regarding its transparency. Individuals targeted in a bank account spying probe have finally been told they can learn who was monitoring them, while Minister Osterc is under pressure over a deal for advertisements that no one saw. Separately, Janez Janša has hosted executives from the Hungarian bank that recently declined a loan to the national broadcaster.
