On the third anniversary of the demolition of the Autonomous Rog Factory (Avtonomna tovarna Rog), the former residents of the said Rog factory protested in Ljubljana. First, they went on a protest march through Ljubljana, then they went to the new Rog centre and entered the building (without an invitation).
The protesters entered the new Rog Centre and were not prevented from doing so by police and security guards. However, during the march through the building, there was a scuffle between security guards and one of the protesters, who was detained by security guards and handed over to the police.
After an argument between the police and the protesters, who demanded the release of the detained person, a large number of members of the Special Police Force Unit entered the building. The police initially tried to detain the protesters in the facility, but they were subsequently released.
As a result of the detention of one of the protesters, who was taken to the police station Ljubljana – Centre, some of the protesters went to Trdinova Street, where there was another fight and a confrontation between police officers and protesters, because one of the protesters had sprayed a graffiti on the glass doors of the police station, reports the media outlet N1. The protester in question was detained by the police, and the protesters dispersed only after the police, who had secured the entrance to the police station with armoured police officers and police dogs, released him after also fining him.
Political commentator Mitja Iršič also commented on the incident, writing on the social network X: “In Parliament, the programme is formally implemented by the leading party of the coalition, the Left party (Levica), on Rog Street. If you don’t want the means of production to be completely dominated by people the likes of Dominika and Emilia and others like them in 10 years’ time, you’ll have to go to the polls…”
