The political landscape is dominated by allegations of undemocratic practices and political maneuvering. Tanja Fajon, former Minister of Foreign and European Affairs, claims she was politically blocked from a top EU position, with suspicions pointing towards the government of Prime Minister Janez Janša. Concerns are also being raised about a potential "dictatorship" and a political takeover of the prosecution, with some drawing parallels to the era of Slobodan Milošević. Further adding to the political intrigue are reports of former Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz meeting with Prime Minister Janez Janša alongside developers of the controversial Pegasus spyware. Meanwhile, a Member of the National Assembly, Boris Mijic, is embroiled in multiple scandals, facing lawsuits and allegations of lying about his educational qualifications and deceiving workers. In other domestic news, a fatal traffic accident in Ljubljana involved a driver under the influence of alcohol and drugs, resulting in the death of an 80-year-old. The healthcare system is also under scrutiny, with a former Minister of Health, Dušan Keber, highlighting the disappearance of personal doctors, and a new law introduced by President of the National Assembly Zoran Stevanović raising conflict of interest concerns.
