🛡️ Hacks

Slovenia is grappling with a series of new and escalating challenges, including widespread cyberattacks targeting media outlets, prompting concerns over digital security and the freedom of the press. Concurrently, the public broadcaster RTV Slovenia faces a deepening liquidity crisis, signaling significant financial instability for the institution. The political landscape is marked by fresh revelations regarding the Janez Janša government's budget priorities, which critics argue favor specific interests over the general populace. This comes alongside new corruption allegations, with the Financial Administration (FURS) initiating proceedings against the law firm Senica for alleged tax irregularities. Further shifts in state control are evident as the SDS party reportedly moves to take over the Slovenian Motorway Company (Dars). Beyond these political and institutional concerns, broader socio-economic issues persist, including a consumer watchdog highlighting subtle price increases through excessive packaging and ongoing discussions about the lack of decent living conditions for young people. Traffic and workplace accidents also tragically claimed lives in separate incidents.
