🍻 Cronies

Officials in Piran reportedly approved projects for associates of the lawyer Franci Matoz in ninety minutes, a pace of bureaucracy usually reserved for emergencies. The timing has invited the predictable questions about whether the municipality operates on merit or on speed-dial. RTV Slovenija is facing warnings of irreparable damage after a Hungarian bank denied the public broadcaster a loan. The bank’s executives reportedly visited Prime Minister Janez Janša around the same time, suggesting that in Ljubljana, credit scores and political calendars may be more closely linked than usual. The race for the capital’s mayoralty has officially begun with six challengers lining up against Zoran Janković. While the politicians prepare their campaigns, the national road company Dars has missed its latest deadline for speed cameras, marking thirty-three months of delays which the company blames on the police.
