Allegations have surfaced today concerning a Maribor-based network, reportedly connected to Franc Kangler, which is said to be gaining influence within the police force, with his associates active in various capacities. This development follows previous reports regarding Minister Franci Matoz's access to police investigations, hinting at a more widespread political influence over law enforcement. Separately, a national referendum campaign has commenced on an intervention law, sparking discussions about its potential impact on Slovenia's development or disintegration. In local politics, a potential historical shift is indicated in the mayoral races for Ljubljana and Maribor, with Luka Mesec emerging as a serious challenger to incumbent Ljubljana Mayor Zoran Janković. Economically, entrepreneurs are expressing concerns about difficult conditions, though these claims are reportedly not supported by current statistical data. Other domestic news includes scrutiny over student vouchers being used for fast food, concerns regarding the Housing Fund's management following its transfer to a Chinese car importer, and discussions about political interference in the education system. European Commissioner Marta Kos also clarified her reporting structure, stating Ursula von der Leyen, not Prime Minister Janez Janša, is her superior.
