🛑 Boycott

A political dispute has erupted over the celebration of Sovereignty Day, with accusations of 'communist' sentiment and the Red Star symbol marking the divide. The current President Nataša Pirc Musar and former presidents have announced they will not attend the state ceremony. Former President Milan Kučan criticized the current government's ideological focus, drawing a reaction from Prime Minister Janez Janša. In related political news, a new narrative has emerged around Anže Logar, who is now being portrayed as playing the victim amidst alleged affairs involving the Democrats. This comes as investigations continue into claims that a person associated with Logar allegedly forged documents, raising questions about Logar's awareness of these actions. Other domestic stories include claims of the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) members and sympathizers being prevalent in electoral bodies, and the party's alleged plans to collect data on residents' nationality and religious affiliation. Meanwhile, Dr. Bogomir Kovač, a Full Professor at the University of Ljubljana's Faculty of Economics, has weighed in on the debate surrounding the proposed abolition of mandatory RTV contributions, calling it a 'professional embarrassment' and emphasizing the need for stable financing.
