Despite a feminist foreign policy, Slovenian women are less and less involved. International data shows that. Slovenia ranks 36th in terms of women’s inclusion – behind Croatia, Hungary, Serbia and Bulgaria. Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon proudly announced before the beginning of her term that she would engage in the heavily-vaunted feminist foreign policy, but in

The “feminist foreign policy” of Minister of Foreign and European Affairs Tanja Fajon has so decisively driven Slovenian politics into the arms of the Iran-Russia axis of evil that it will probably take decades before we shake off the stigma of being part of the “good-for-nothing” group of states. Recently, the Slovenian ambassador to Tel

Janez Janša visited Israel at the beginning of last week. With a one-week delay, the Slovenian media – always “up to date” – reported on it when they got the green light to do so. At a meeting of the National Assembly’s Committee on Foreign Policy, State Secretary Sanja Štiglic said that the Ministry of
When Tanja Fajon said that foreign policy would now be “feminist” at the beginning of her term as Minister of Foreign and European Affairs, we could not help but wonder what that meant.

“Fajon’s statement is not a surprise, it just needs to be understood in the context of the politics from which the current Foreign Minister comes. A person who bows down to the statue of Boris Kidrič is also bowing to the ideology of Titoist Yugoslavia, which has always been anti-Israel,” believes university professor and political

A family quarrel seems to have broken out in the government ranks. The Social Democrats (Socialni Demokrati – SD) and the Freedom Movement party (Gibanje Svoboda) have apparently decided to air their dirty laundry in public – through the “independent media.” The story of the controversial trip of Minister Sanja Ajanović Hovnik (Freedom Movement) to
