On Saturday, Ljubljana hosted the “Pride Parade” of the LGBT+ community, which has taken over the whole month of June in recent years. Apart from the usual shenanigans that we are used to at such events, this year, certain contradictions stood out, such as support for Palestine and the choice of Janković as one of …
The latest public opinion poll, conducted by the Parsifal Institute in June this year, reflects Slovenia’s diverse political landscape, but also shows that the Slovenian Democratic Party (Slovenska demokratska stranka – SDS) remains in the lead. Among the voters who already know who they would vote for and who would definitely go to the polls, …

Slovenia is in the midst of a historically important moment, when the international situation calls for a clearer, more sovereign and more deliberate foreign policy stance.

The United at the Linden Tree of Reconciliation Association (Združeni ob Lipi sprave), which has been working hard for many years for a dignified burial of victims of post-war violence and for the regularisation of the graves of those killed extrajudicially, has designated the 15th of June as the Day of Guilt, Forgiveness and Reconciliation. …

Three years of Golob’s far-left government have left scars on Slovenia that will not be healed for generations. In an already egalitarian society, the coalition has introduced even more socialist levelling. Every day, we read about a new parameter that shows how far we have sunk.

The recent decision of the Commission for the Prevention of Corruption (KPK) to grant the Ljubljana Mayor Zoran Janković permission to participate as a consultant in the organisation of the global event Expo 2027 in Belgrade has raised questions about the adequacy of oversight of official conduct, especially in light of past cases of non-transparent …
Under the government of Robert Golob, virtually all state systems have been degraded. The anonymous message from an employee reveals a series of irregularities. These include Interior Minister Poklukar’s rapprochement with his Chief of Staff, as well as the fact that his office reportedly paid an official visit to his neighbours solely for the reason …
The battered Mayor of Ribnica, Samo Pogorelc, demands the resignation of Interior Minister Boštjan Poklukar after a brutal attack by the Roma people. He is also demanding action from the state, which is clearly not in control of the situation. “Three years of the current government, and absolutely nothing has been done when it comes …
In recent days, the director of the left-wing non-governmental organisation, the 8th of March Institute (Inštitut 8. marec), “boasted” on social media that she got the Kranj District Court to convict the columnist of the Demokracija (Democracy) magazine, Vinko Vasle, for the words he had written about her. So much for freedom of speech, but …
The shameful appeal by Slovenian President Nataša Pirc Musar to restart talks with the fascist Russian Federation is echoing in Brussels. It seems that the Slovenian President has found sympathy mainly with the European political establishment, which is too “right-wing” even for the right-wing ECR (European Conservatives and Reformists) party.

Ljubljana city councillors will soon decide on a major new investment by Janković’s friend from Republika Srpska. Mladen Milanović, or his company MG Mind, is planning to build a new residential neighbourhood on Litijska Street in Ljubljana. The rather large-scale project, 372 flats, will be built by KPL Ljubljana, a company owned by MG Mind. …
Prime Minister Robert Golob celebrated the 80th anniversary of the repatriation of exiles and refugees to their homeland in Brestanica and drew attention to the realisation that war is evil. While condemning Nazism and fascism, he again avoided condemning the revolutionary violence of the communist authorities, which shows that the current authorities are not in …
