Prime Minister Janez Janša has been awarded 110,000 Euros in compensation and interest from the state, following a ruling that his prison sentence in the Patria case was "baseless." This significant legal development comes as two ministers face new scrutiny: Minister of Agriculture Janez Cigler Kralj is alleged to have again used state funds for a family car, and Minister of the Environment and Spatial Planning Polona Rifelj is criticized for controversial policy proposals.
Further political and financial concerns include an influential businessman transferring valuable land assets prior to a potential company bankruptcy, and new revelations in the ongoing Boris Mijić scandal, where Rok Snežič reportedly renamed Mijić's company. Meanwhile, the healthcare system is under fire for bureaucratic delays and questions surrounding hospital examination capacities, with the process for rare disease treatments likened to a lottery.
The country is also grappling with an intensifying heatwave, prompting a red warning with temperatures forecast to reach 38 degrees Celsius, leading to crowded swimming areas and booming sales of cooling appliances. Amidst these challenges, there is positive news as the Sora river has been declared safe for swimming once more.
