Running a government was never Robert Golob’s first choice. He lacked, as he told the media before the elections, the “inner motivation” to do so. Today, he no longer says this, but he definitely shows it through his actions. He seems to spend more time on holiday than at his desk at the government headquarters …
Italian boxer Angela Carini withdrew from her fight against a biological male named Imane Khelif at the Olympic Games.

Less than a year has passed since the devastating storms and consequent floods hit Slovenia, and already, another disaster has struck. Although there were already very few who believed Prime Minister Robert Golob’s promises at the time that the recovery would be swift and hundreds of new houses would be built in no time, there …
Only yesterday, it seemed that the Venezuelan socialists’ days were numbered. Ahead of the presidential elections, international and local polls pointed to a convincing victory for the opposition candidate, Edmundo Gonzáles. The day after the elections, all the indications point to the fact that a massive electoral fraud has happened. We spoke to Alejandro Peña …

The government of Robert Golob continues to politically appoint its own people to senior positions even without them having the necessary competencies and meeting the required conditions for the said positions. We recently saw another example of this when the Minister of Culture, Asta Vrečko from the Left party (Levica), appointed Marijan Rupert, who does …
The government of Robert Golob has usurped the public media by enacting the Radio-Television Slovenia Act. The viewers know this, and the government of Robert Golob knows this. The Prime Minister has even publicly acknowledged the takeover of the public media. The European Commission also knows this, because the outgoing Commissioner, Věra Jourová, actively participated …

At its meeting on Friday, the Government unanimously approved the nomination of former President of the Court of Audit, Tomaž Vesel, as the Slovenian Commissioner to the European Parliament.

On the 15th of February last year, we published an article entitled “The Coalition is preparing a very dangerous and utterly vile law: the verbal delict is back!” And it was with good reason, it seems. The Freedom Movement (Gibanje Svoboda) parliamentary group had already drafted a law against the glorification of fascism, Nazism and …
