The Ministry of Health is under scrutiny after an investigation into an associate of Tadej Ostrec revealed a 'black book' and alleged irregularities. Separately, judicial authorities are looking into associates of the SDS party for financial abuse, while tax authorities investigate a member of parliament's company for suspected VAT evasion. The opposition has decided to hand the leadership of an upcoming referendum campaign to civil society groups and trade unions, a move they suggest is a defense against government repression. Meanwhile, education reforms proposed by Borut Rončević are being treated with similar skepticism; critics describe the plan as a smokescreen for the privatization of schools. Economists are currently debating whether the government's first moves will restore stability or merely repeat past volatility. For those less interested in the macroeconomics, the capital is focusing on a new tender for 60 public apartments, offering young people 45 square meters for less than 300 euros a month.
