For quite some time now, Prime Minister Robert Golob has been flirting with the fine line that separates crime from politics. Just remember how he publicly and enthusiastically admitted on the national media oulet, Radio-Television Slovenia (RTVS), that he had been recruiting (or “purging Janšaists” – supporters of Janez Janša) in the public broadcaster and the police. And now he has a police force set up just the way he wanted it – without political dissidents, filled with his own cadres. And what is happening? A mafia state. In an otherwise carefully choreographed interview on Pop TV, he even admitted, in his own way, to a link between the mafia underworld and the police! It is, after all, “his” police, set up by his political underlings!
He told the socio-political workers of Pop TV: “I believe that she felt as if she was being controlled instead of being protected, and then the information was also leaked to these criminal groups.” So, he admitted – just like that, as if it’s nothing – to the collaboration between his “depoliticised” police and the criminal gangs – probably the Škaljari and Kavač clan, which we have already previously reported on. He added that he had known about the mafia activities in the police for at least two years, but had done nothing.
The incident also shows the problem of the media, which wants to present the current anointed one of the left in a good light. The interview was intended to burnish the Prime Minister’s shattered image. The two journalists were friendly and tolerant. They asked him friendly questions. But in the end, like his American colleague Kamala Harris on The View, Prime Minister Robert Golob was quite capable of verbally messing the whole thing up by himself. His mouth is faster than his brain – and if he were on the right side of the political spectrum, his career would have been over two years ago.
The prosecutor did not trust the police and her security guards
Let us remind you of what Golob’s statement was related to: prosecutor Mateja Gončin, who is prosecuting the brutal Kavaš clan in our country, gave up the security provided by the police by herself, because – as she apparently rightly claimed – they were illegally monitoring her, and at the same time, they had planted a security guard in her team who was supposed to be monitoring her. Since she no longer trusted the leaders of the police, she now has no security guards, and she herself walks around with pepper spray.
Her lawyer claimed at the time that an “agent” with no special powers had been transferred to her team of security guards to supervise what she was doing. According to the prosecutor, the security guard himself later unofficially admitted to this.
“She has serious opponents on the other side, who may find such information about her private life interesting, but then it is even more problematic,” Gončina’s lawyer said. Police leaders were clearly bothered by such insinuations, as they replaced her entire team, and the lawyer alluded to the almost mafia-like level of the police leadership when he said: “The decision of the Centre for Safety and Security management (in agreement with the Director-General of the Police) was to “punish” the “disobedient prosecutor” and to “artificially” show irregularities in the implementation of security by her previous security guards.” Gončina added: “In this particular case, it was therefore a purely planned, targeted action by the management of the Centre for Safety and Security against me and my security in retaliation for the reports I had made, which were entirely justified. /…/ Their only guideline was to ‘teach me a lesson’.”
Poklukar confided in security guards
In a statement to Pop TV, current Minister of the Interior Poklukar said that he himself trusts his security guards, but he also trusts the police to act professionally, legally and in accordance with their powers. He added that the Slovenian Police is a well-functioning system that checks every threat and risk, based on which it determines the threat level and finally assigns security, which is what supposedly also happened in this case.
Two weeks later, Golob admits …
The statement is two weeks old. Since then, Poklukar has learned that his Director-General of the Police, Senad Jušić, was illegally appointed to his position, and then his government boss admitted in a major television interview that the prosecutor was supervised, not protected, and that information was leaked to the underworld. Why did Poklukar not resign on the 1st of December, when the interview was filmed? Why did the illegally appointed Director-General of the Police not resign? The Prime Minister pushed the blame onto them and clearly admitted that there were mafia connections in the police with the Balkan underworld, which were endangering the prosecutor’s life instead of protecting her! After all, Golob himself did not trust his own security team and instead hired his own “Gen-I” security guard, Miloš Njegoslav Milović, financing all of it with state money, which he denied at first, and then this very gentleman was caught on camera at the Freedom Movement party (Gibanje Svoboda) meetings, which was one of the first big lies that the Prime Minister was caught in.
Let us repeat – the Prime Minister of a European Union country admitted in front of the cameras that the police had tacit links with Balkan mafia organisations and that information from police security guards was leaked to these very organisations.
And yet, no one has resigned. No one has even commented on what happened! Nor did anyone ask Golob about it on Wednesday, when he defended himself before the Commission for the Prevention of Corruption (KPK) in relation to the question of why he was interfering in the staffing of the police. Under the Golob government, we have obviously truly turned into a real Russian-style mafia state. An anarcho-terrorism has been born, where those with guns can shoot in front of a shopping centre, and nothing happens to them, while, on the other hand, police officers in jeans and with guns at their belts abuse elderly women.
