The revelation of US funding of non-governmental organisations in Slovenia has also revealed the “independence” of some media and journalists, and it has become even clearer how leftist activists get so much funding to spread leftist (LGTB) propaganda. We have already highlighted a few of them in a previous article, but the list is long.
Among the recipients of funding is the Slovenian Association of Friends of Youth (ZPMS), which is the organisation that nominated Katarina Bervar Sternad, who supports illegal migration, to be the human rights ombudsman. The list also includes an institute headed by none other than Kaja Primorac, the main actor in the “controversial tender” case that led to the resignation of the former Minister of Public Administration, Sanja Ajanović Hovnik.
It has not been long since the NGOs were flaunting the funds they had obtained, and information about new ones has already come in. It is clear that the umbrella network of NGOs (CNVOS) has been receiving funds from all quarters, including, apparently, from America, from which they received 8 thousand dollars.
Last November, they boasted about a new multi-million-euro grant, but it is also important not to overlook the fact that they have received almost 5.5 million euros in their account from state money alone.
The Slovenian Association of Friends of Youth is also on the list of recipients of US funding. Their website says they are “a non-governmental, voluntary, humanitarian and non-profit organisation dedicated to creating a better future for children, youth and families”, but this is rather ironic given that they have nominated as Ombudsman someone who not only supports illegal migration, but also allegedly assists in its implementation. They have received USD 3,500 in their account from the USA, and they have also received EUR 6,336,558.78 in state money.
A reminder: the current Ombudsman, Peter Svetina, is coming to the end of his term of office, and applications for his successor were being collected until the 14th of October last year. One of the proposed candidates was Katarina Bervar Sternad, who was nominated by the Slovenian Association of Friends of Youth. As we reported some time ago, Katarina Bervar Sternad, Director of the Legal Centre for the Protection of Human Rights and the Environment (PIC), was involved in helping smuggling rings in the Balkans.
We wrote about this in more detail in some of our previous articles. In Velika Kladuša, Slovenian NGOs allegedly distributed brochures to migrants with instructions on how to enter Slovenia illegally and manipulate the asylum system. In 2018, Sternad instructed the police to receive migrants at Učakovci, with the Legal Centre supposedly advising them on how to claim their right to asylum.
Soros’s Amnesty International, an international NGO that is supposed to fight for human rights, was also among the recipients, although in the past, it has done the exact opposite of what its mission is supposed to be. It has received USD 1,500. In addition to being part of a left-wing conglomerate of NGOs, it is also worth noting that the director of Amnesty International, Nataša Posel, was a supporter of the cycling protests during the previous, Janša government. Incidentally, Amnesty International is one of the NGOs that was richly rewarded in the aftermath of the August floods – even if the people who were more in need of this money were the ones who suffered.
As we have previously reported, activists who poison young people with LGBT ideology were also among the recipients, and, of course, there is no shortage of “empowered” feminists from the City of Women (Mesto žensk) on the list, too. And to complete the circle, the Gender Equality Research Institute (IPES) from Maribor also received USD 3,000 for “raising awareness of gender inequality, empowering women,” as stated on the USA spending website. It is headed by none other than Kaja Primorac, a friend of the former Minister of Public Administration, Sanja Ajanovič Hovnik. IPES has received almost 1 million euros of funding so far, according to data from Erar, the application for the portrayal of public money spending.
By the way – going back – the Institute, co-owned by a friend of the former Minister, got a whopping 300,000 euros of taxpayers’ money in a proven controversial way. We reported on this, and the journalists from the shor Tarča (Target) from the national media outlet, RTV Slovenia, found out that the tender for NGOs was also rigged at the IPES institute owned by Kaja Primorac, a long-time colleague and business partner of Sanja Ajanović Hovnik.
To ensure that IPES got the maximum amount possible – 300,000 euros – the Minister even rigged the tender after the fact, because otherwise, the money-milking company owned by her friend would have simply dropped out of the race for funds. She did this by increasing the amount of funding for the project from 1.5 million euros to almost 3.5 million euros, giving IPES the maximum possible amount.
