A significant new investigative report has uncovered a Russian connection extending to the historical JBTZ affair, suggesting deeper ties and implications within the nation's past. This revelation comes amidst a wave of fresh allegations concerning financial impropriety involving prominent political figures and their associates. Among the new claims, the family of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Economy, Labour and Sport Anže Logar is alleged to have provided a substantial sum to Tomaž Ročnik's daughter. Further scrutiny is being directed at the undisclosed sources of funding for Logar's political campaign, which is noted as one of the most expensive. Separately, Minister of Agriculture Janez Cigler Kralj faces accusations of repeatedly using state funds to purchase a family car. The country's political discourse remains charged with ongoing attacks on the President Nataša Pirc Musar and the Constitutional Court. Member of the National Assembly Žan Mahnič has criticized constitutional judges, while professor Peter Jambrek commented on the disregard of court decisions. Additionally, environmental concerns are rising, with a report questioning megaprojects for energy exploitation of rivers due to increasing water temperatures.
