Just like with the water referendum, the media was organised on the left-wing political pole. But they failed anyway. This is a strong indicator that people no longer trust the …
We spoke to political commentator Miran Videtič about the consequences of the left’s referendum debacle.

The story of the rejection of the law on pension bonuses for deserving artists in the referendum is far from over. On the contrary, it has triggered a wave of pressure to hold the Minister of Culture, Asta Vrečko, politically accountable for proposing unwise legislation and mismanaging the state budget.
