New allegations of political patronage have surfaced, with an investigative report questioning whether a supervisor connected to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Economy, Labour, and Sport Anže Logar circumvented the law with an antedated statement. Separately, state intervention to rescue biogas plants owned by Hungarian investors has come under scrutiny, with reports highlighting significant payments made to Minister of the Interior and Public Administration Franci Matoz. Concerns over media independence are intensifying as the Ministry of Culture proposes a system that would introduce direct political control over RTV Slovenia, cynically justified as ensuring an 'independent public media service.' Concurrently, rumors are circulating about the potential sale of POP TV, with Telemach identified as a possible target, suggesting significant shifts in the Slovenian media landscape. These developments occur amidst ongoing scrutiny of Prime Minister Janez Janša's foreign policy, particularly his stance on Israel, which critics allege lacks domestic support and is driven by antisemitic theories. Additionally, a bomb removal operation has necessitated evacuation and sheltering measures in Globoko, while drivers express frustration over inactive construction sites on weekends.
