The number of injustices perpetrated by the crooked judiciary is too high to count. It must be made clear that we have had enough of what the judiciary is doing, and not only with the leader of the opposition, Janez Janša, in mind, who is a victim of the political process of Trenta, just like in the Patria case in the past, but also with the small and forgotten cases in mind, which involve people who have been broken by the criminal justice system and whose tragic fates are known to only a few. Many have been wrongly convicted or have been waiting for justice for years, even decades. Judges are also victims of injustice – whenever they do not judge the way they are expected to. In this context, let us remember the hero, former judge Zvjezdan Radonjić, who, despite a doctor’s notice, was brought to the court in handcuffs as if he is the greatest criminal. On the other hand, the criminals of the Kavač clan are roaming freely in Ljubljana! That is why on Thursday, the 12th of December, starting five minutes before noon, a rally was held in front of the court in Celje, where Janša is being tried.
The crooked justice system is doing everything in its power to prevent its controversial behaviour from being noticed. The trials are deliberately closed to the public, even though they should be public, and the courtrooms where the trials are held, and the conditions for journalists to attend are constantly being changed. The weekly Demokracija commented the following on the matter: “Another phase of the Kafkaesque Trenta trial is about to begin. The location of the trial has been changed again. According to the new rules, journalists are not allowed to have computers with them.” In light of this, it is worth noting that one protest was already held outside the Celje court recently.
Janša: If you were to call the Slovenian crooked judiciary a mafia, you would be insulting the mafia!
At the aforementioned protest, the leader of the opposition, Janez Janša, spoke before the gathered crowd and responded to their chants of “Mafia, mafia!”, saying that it would be an insult to the mafia to call the Slovenian crooked judiciary the mafia. Because the crooked justice system does not follow any rules, while the mafia does. It is also worth noting that there were also provocations at the previous rally. Among other things, a Radio-Television Slovenia (RTVS) car drove among the crowd of people, and at the same time, a plain-clothes policeman with a gun visibly sticking from his belt intimidated people at the event.
Enough with the rigged trials! It is time for common sense!
This week’s protest opened with the National Anthem. The influencer Zala Klopčič led the crowd in song. “Enough with the rigged trials! It’s time for common sense,” the speaker said initially. Common sense, she said, is telling us that our country has been hijacked by those who should be protecting us – the Slovenian judiciary! Former Interior Minister Aleš Hojs also spoke at the rally, saying: “It is a great honour for me to speak at this rally against the Slovenian crooked judiciary. It is also a great pleasure for me. This is not only a rally against the injustice of the judiciary, but it is our rally on the road to our electoral victory!”
“We will dig the crooked judiciary out of their holes and send them to the trash heap of history!”
“When I was coming here, I was amazed to see the fences. You probably still remember what we were promised – that there would be no more fences in our heads, in our cities, that we would live without fences. Dear police, there is no need to put up these fences here! If these are fences against the judiciary, they are not necessary. We also know that many judges are honest! But if these are fences against the crooked judiciary, we say to you: we will dig the crooked judiciary out of their holes and send them to the trash heap of history!”
Shocking!!! A judge can be a member of a political party, but a soldier or a policeman cannot!!!
The crowd greeted Hojs’s words with loud shouts of approval. Hojs then also noted that it was only in the last week that he had learned that Slovenian judges can be members of political parties. On the other hand, an ordinary policeman, in order to be independent and neutral, must not be a member of a political party!!! The same applies to the soldiers who help us in natural disasters. On the other hand, a judge who unjustly imprisons us may be a member of a political party. Hojs has promised to change this after the elections. Otherwise, they will be directly elected by the people, not by anonymous judicial councils. He went on to touch on the farcical details of the Trenta case. Hojs: “The prosecutors are dealing with the land of a private company instead of the theft of our taxpayers’ money! And the dilapidated building on Litijska Street is a great example of this!” He then also pointed out other injustices related to the crooked judicial system, including bankruptcy proceedings. He concluded his speech with a quote by the fighter for independence, Ivan Oman: “We go to the elections to win!” Hojs: “If we became independent after that election, we will become free after this one! Long live Slovenia!”
Helbl: “Let’s stand upright in our own country, from which no one will expel us!”
Slovenian Democratic Party (Slovenska demokratska stranka – SDS) MP Alenka Helbl spoke next: “They say that peaceful protests are a reprehensible act, but are they? They are not! They say that we are undermining the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary! Are we really?! No! They also say that we are promoting intolerance and hostility! Are we, really?! We are not! That is why we are here today in front of the Celje court, just like we used to gather in front of the Supreme Court a decade and more ago, to say loud and clear that we are all Janez Janša, and tomorrow, any one of us could be in his place!” She also pointed out that the decades-long show trials filled with lies are simply unacceptable. “Let us stand upright in our own country, from which no one will expel us!” She also warned that they will not tolerate the destruction of individuals, their health and their families for one purpose and one purpose only – to silence and destroy human beings by discrediting, lying, manipulating!
“You have built a house of lies, hypocrisy and thuggery. You are the servants of Satan!”
She also recalled the words of the Speaker of the National Assembly, Urška Klakočar Zupančič – that we should all sit quietly at home and watch our country crumble before our eyes. We will not allow the destruction of our families, culture, traditions and homeland, she said. We longed for our own country, a sovereign, democratic Slovenia, and we got it. That dream came true 33 years ago. There was hope and there were immense expectations. “We will not allow our beautiful homeland to be stolen by the elites of the Slovenian transition!” Helb also said. “In the name of which people is the court judging?” she then wondered. “You have built a house of lies, hypocrisy and thuggery. You are the servants of Satan and his iniquities!” she added, reading Ivan Cankar’s words. She went on to remind us that our destiny is being shaped by those for whom an independent Slovenia was never the preferred option, who care only about their own interests – and our money. She then predicted a renewed political spring.
Primc: “Enough of Zoran Janković, who is destroying everything from water to culture!”
Aleš Primc, a fighter against the Mayor of Ljubljana, Zoran Janković‘s “shithpipe”, spoke next: “Today, here in Celje, victory for a normal Slovenia is being paved! A normal Slovenia must win these elections! A working Slovenia must win! A Slovenia that lives honestly from its honest work must win! Families must win this election, not the LGBTQ+ lobby that is destroying children! This election must be won by those who love Slovenia, not by those who hate it and want to destroy it!” He added that there has been more than enough destruction of Slovenia’s healthcare system and the suffering of thousands of patients and our daughters and wives because of open borders. It is up to Slovenia to decide who is admitted to Slovenia on the basis of its own interests and on its own terms, not to far-left organisations and corrupt Brussels elites. “Enough of psychopaths in the courts who prey on people!” he said. Enough of the psychopaths in government who are destroying pensioners. Enough of Zoran Janković, who is destroying everything – from water to culture. Enough of the “ship of fools that is leading us to ruin in all areas!” His main message was to win the elections, and we all have to work to win, and the only winning option is Janša. Enough of the vote splitting on the right.
Planinšek: “Today, I am proud of us!”
Karin Planinšek, an influencer, was the next person to speak: “I am so proud of us today! Considering how much criticism we have received since the last protest, how many insults, we are brave and courageous to come here today to stand up for what is right!” We as a people always have the right to show that we disagree with the authorities, she believes. She recalled what the Chairwoman of the Commission of Inquiry, the Freedom Movement (Gibanje Svoboda) MP Tamara Vonta, had done to TV presenter Boris Tomašič at Wednesday’s meeting. “These are fools who have come to take everything out on us, not to represent the interests of the nation!”
“We have a special prosecutor who makes sure that every trial against Janković fails!”
Such people should be escorted out of Parliament immediately and forever. Planinšek pointed out that “Such people are dangerous for the nation!” She came to the protest not only because of Janša and the other victims of the injustice, but because, as a young person, she was betrayed; she was convinced that she lived in an orderly, democratic country, but then she started to dig into the historical truth about the post-war killings, independence, etc. Young people don’t even know what kind of country they live in, because they don’t know our history. When she was a child, her father told her that ‘Slovenia is a country where the mafia literally thrives’, and today, she understands his words. In this country, we have a special prosecutor who makes sure that every single trial against Janković fails.
Planinšek: “We have a judge who publicly says that Janša should be f**ked over”
Additionally, we also have people in our country who are using our money to prosecute Janša. And we even have a judge who publicly says that Janša should be f**ked over (Branko Masleša). Planinšek: “We have come to the very edge, to the boiling point!” She believes that the time has come when we must make it clear that we deserve better. For too long, the Slovenian nation has been kept in fear. Planinšek: “We will no longer bow our heads and be silent!” She called on us not to be afraid and never to be silent. We must not allow the truth to be “trampled underfoot”. The division between first- and second-class citizens is enough. In her view, we deserve a just Slovenia that works in the interests of the nation, not in the interests of a particular elite. “Mr Janša and all the other victims of injustice, we are with you!” Young people are also becoming increasingly aware of the truth.
“We have gathered in front of this branch of the UDBA-mafia, where their agent is in office.”
SDS MP Žan Mahnič also spoke at the protest: “Today, we have gathered in front of this branch of the UDBA-mafia, where their agent Vesna Posilovič is working, to tell them loud and clear, despite the verdict that has already been written in advance – enough is enough!” He also recalled that he did not see Urška Klakočar Zupančič, Lena Grgurević and Janja Sluga anywhere in the crowd. Mahnič: “Because these three hysterical comrades from the Freedom Movement want to ban us from attending rallies like the one we have here today!” Mahnič called on them to come to the event and tell those gathered why they should not be allowed to protest in a peaceful and dignified manner, just like what we saw at the protest before the Celje court. The reason, he said, is that they don’t know how to do it themselves and are not used to it. “When they protest, they sow hatred, calls for death and violence!”
MP Hoivik gave Janša’s book “The Wake-up Call” to Urška Klakočar Zupančič, and she threw it in the garbage!
Meanwhile, SDS MP Andrej Hoivik informed Mahnič that he had placed Janša’s book “Budnica” (The Wake-up Call) on the table during a recent session of the National Assembly, and the Speaker of the National Assembly, Urška Klakočar Zupančič, interrupted the session and ordered the security guard to remove the book from the hall. The previous week, Hoivik had given her the book at the entrance, but Klakočar Zupančič had thrown it in the trash. He recalled that books were destroyed and burned in Nazi Germany. But Klakočar Zupančič can do that because she is a former judge, because she is untouchable and can afford to do anything, and so can her Freedom Movement colleague Grgurević. Hoivik recalled that the latter had applied for a job as a judge before she was a Member of Parliament. Mahnič: “They didn’t even invite her for an interview! Then you know what kind of person she is if they don’t even want her in their own ranks!”
“If we had the rule of law, Bergant and Đorđević would have been taken away in handcuffs!”
The only truth he believes she has told so far in her 2.5 years in Parliament is that “the judiciary is the cornerstone of their power”. Mahnič: “And that is exactly the point, without the judiciary, there would be no Golob, Janković and the rest of the leftists who have been destroying Slovenia for 32 years!” He believes that if we had the rule of law in Slovenia, the head of the prosecutor’s office, Katarina Bergant, and the President of the Supreme Court, Miodrag Đorđević, would have been taken away in handcuffs last week. They will continue to point this out. He reminded everyone that Janša has to go to court even though the verdict is pre-written, and that he will be convicted because the UDBA-mafia has decided so.
“Seeking justice in a Slovenian court is like looking for a virgin in a whorehouse!”
Mahnič: “Seeking justice in a Slovenian court is like looking for a virgin in a whorehouse!” He predicted that brighter times and hope are coming from the USA. He recalled that they did the same with Donald Trump – court proceedings, he was convicted, media smears, just like what they are doing to the champion of the Slovenian opposition. “Donald Trump won, and so will Janez Janša!” He predicted that the time would come when judges and prosecutors, including Vesna Posilovič and others, would also be tried in their own chambers! Until then, everything must be done to ensure that this happens no later than 2026, or perhaps even sooner. Aljaž Novak also spoke at the protest: “Let us stand together, older and younger, and let us show Slovenia the way to the future together!”
Janša: “Slovenian spring is coming again!”
Finally, Janez Janša also spoke. “The young colleague who spoke before me mentioned the Slovenian spring. Today, the trial here has once again been moved to a smaller courtroom so that there will be no people in it. But this courtroom has windows that look out to the street, and we could hear you as if we were back on Roška Street. So, yes, the Slovenian spring is coming again! And since the Slovenian spring is coming, and it is starting in a similar way to the first one, before independence, it is time to tell you a bit more about it on this day, which is symbolic in many ways.” Exactly ten years ago, on the 12th of December 2014, a similar political judicial construction, Patria, crumbled into dust. Janša recalled other important events in the history of Celje on that very day. He also recalled that he had spent many days and hours in the courtrooms in Celje, in front of which the protest took place, over the last six months, and much time had been lost.
He used this time to write down a few things and read them out to the people gathered at the protest. He also reminded all those gathered that together, they were defending the fundamental constitutional right and freedom to assemble peacefully. He recalled that there was a time when people went to jail for protesting peacefully or for criticising the regime. That is why, three decades ago, the right to peaceful assembly and gathering was enshrined in the Constitution, and this right belongs to everyone. But not everyone thinks so. Vesna Rakočević, President of the Judges’ Association, called the protesters “excrement”. Janša also recalled the awarding of a retrospective prize, although the recipient had renounced it at the time she won it (Svetlana Makarovič). And this same person, a few years ago, when the political cyclists were protesting and threatening death, called the SDS a “rat party”. She added that “they know what to do with rats”. Janša: “It is dehumanisation! It is dehumanisation! It’s that famous formula: first discreditation, then liquidation!”
Janša: Klakočar Zupančič made fun of the pandemic when elderly compatriots were dying en masse
He then pointed out that once someone is dehumanised, the rules no longer apply to him or her. Janša: “And that’s how they behave towards us now! We can be murdered, in the media, in court, and they say, if necessary, even physically!” He also reminded the protesters of Klakočar Zupančič, who said that those protesting in front of the court in Celje are “reprehensible” and that they are second-class people. And this came from a person who claimed that her human rights were being violated because she was not allowed to go to another municipality due to health restrictions and measures during the Covid-19 pandemic. She even said that she had ignored the measures. She made fun of a time when her compatriots, especially the elderly, were dying en masse. Janša: “A person who makes fun of pain and suffering calls you ‘reprehensible’!”
Corrupt judges and prosecutors make sure nothing happens to those in power
He also recalled that the same person had declared shortly after the last elections that she would be the first to protest if their government restricted the right to assembly. Janša: “They lie faster than they talk!” And they do this so that the nation gets to a situation where it no longer believes anything, and then it can be manipulated. And it is precisely this situation that has brought Slovenia to the time of “puppet rule” – we are mainly ruled not by those who think they are the government, but by criminals who are being written off a 30-million-dollar debt, we are ruled by mafia godfathers. And very corrupt prosecutors and judges make sure that nothing happens to them. At the same time, those who could endanger them are prosecuted.
He recalled the recent meeting of the Committee on Justice and the “judge with a gun” Đorđević when he said that “the judiciary is not in crisis, society is”. Of course it is not, because he is a public official with an astronomical salary. The Party was never in a crisis, nor was the Yugoslav People’s Party, it was those who dared to criticise it. Now, the same thing is happening – we are not allowed to criticise judges and prosecutors, and Masleša should not even have been asked if he had a degree and if he had passed the law exam. On the other hand, Judge Radonjić can be criticised because he gave a fair trial. Janša: “They even brought him to this court in handcuffs! A disabled man! At the same time, one must not criticise the prosecutor Blanka Žgajnar, who has messed up numerous lawsuits against Janković and many others. But you can criticise the prosecutor Dragica Kotnik, who investigated the bullmastiff case.”
Janša concluded his speech by reading a declaration similar to the May Declaration
“She could be criticised, bothered, thrown out of her job and psychologically destroyed, etc.” And God forbid that the judges who wrongly tried the Patria case should be sued. If anyone sues them for damages, they will pay for it themselves. At the same time, one can criticise the Constitutional Court judge, Klemen Jaklič, who sometimes writes a serious dissenting opinion. Klakočar Zupančič has even proposed a special law against him. The majority of the Constitutional Court, which urgently blessed the controversial Radio-Television Slovenia Act, must not be criticised either. And whoever is at the helm of the “depoliticised national media outlet RTV” today is an unconstitutional disgrace for Slovenia. And God forbid that Judge Slavko Gazvoda, who happily attended the Social Democrats party (Socialni demokrati – SD) rallies, should be criticised. Finally, he even received an award for “good work” from the President of the Supreme Court. But you can criticise and put into proceedings the Supreme Court Judge Jan Zobec, who sometimes dares to say something that is not to the likes of the current authorities. “Today, we are protesting for an independent judiciary!” Janša added. They are protesting for judges who will work according to their conscience. Finally, Janša read out a declaration similar to the May Declaration. Janša: “We want the Slovenia we voted for in the referendum for independence! We want a Slovenia with a culture of life, not a leftist culture of death! We want a Slovenia in which we bury our dead with dignity! We want a Slovenia where an illegal migrant is not valued more than a native! We want freedom of speech for all, not just for leftists when they make death threats!” Etc.
