The National Assembly appointed Rok Svetlič a judge on the Constitutional Court. Svetlič received 46 votes with only 46 MPs picking up their ballots because the centre-left opposition boycotted the vote.
The coalition was joined by the SNS, DeSUS and minority MPs in endorsing the candidate. This was the fourth attempt to appoint a replacement for Dunja Jadek Pensa, whose term expired in July 2020 but who has stayed on until her successor was appointed. Svetlič stressed he will do all in his power for every singe person to believe that they have a reliable parter in Slovenian law.
