Former Democrat MP Tea Košir has declined a position at the Directorate for Infrastructure following reports of a million-euro deal involving permits granted to the sister of the Speaker of the National Assembly. The political fallout is spreading to Anže Logar, who now faces questions over an associate's allegedly forged document and a public commentary suggesting his career is reaching its end. Austerity has become a difficult sell for Borut Rončević after reports that he spent €26,000 on flight tickets to Japan. A live broadcast discusses the need for a €30 million loan, while public opinion polls show the government's support falling and SDS remains the leading party. At the same time, the Speaker’s personal popularity has begun a decline. Dars has announced a new round of roadworks just as previous renovations ended, and traffic jams are expected for drivers. Elsewhere, a controversial proposal could lift a 60-year ban on teachers using physical force in schools, and police in Koper are searching for the driver of a black Lamborghini who fled the scene after hitting a skateboarder.
