Customs officials reportedly kept the seizure of 14 million cigarettes to themselves rather than informing the police in Lendava. This follows a recent delay by the Tax Office in closing an illegal cigarette factory, suggesting a pattern where the left hand of the state is not only unaware of what the right hand is doing, but is not being told.
The Democratic Party (SDS) has proposed collecting data on the religion and ethnicity of all residents. Former President Milan Kučan has suggested the country rethink its entire direction, while Anže Logar, who promised a new style of politics, is now occupying the familiar position of the victim as an associate faces allegations of document forgery.
Every seventh Slovenian now lives in poverty, a statistic that has turned the conversation toward the likelihood of street protests. For those working in the gig economy, the risks are more immediate; Wolt drivers in Ljubljana and Maribor are still negotiating for better conditions in a country that has yet to pass a law governing platform work.
