30,442 signatures have already been collected for the "political police" referendum
An initiative seeking a referendum on a parliamentary inquiry law amendment has collected 30,442 signatures, meaning the petitioners need just under 10,000 more signatures within two weeks to trigger a referendum. The petitioners, former members of the Human Rights Protection Committee including Franco Juri, Pavel Gantar, and others, argue that the proposed law threatens fundamental rights by limiting the ability of individuals to challenge parliamentary inquiries. They emphasize that even if such inquiries seem unlikely to affect them personally, they could still become victims, similar to winning the lottery. The National Assembly passed the amendment proposed by SDS, NSi, SLS, and Fokus, supported by Democrats and Resnica. The amendment limits the ability to challenge the decision to initiate a parliamentary inquiry before the Constitutional Court, allowing only the Supreme Court or the Public Prosecutor to review compliance with the constitution and law within 30 days. Critics, including legal expert Barbara Rajgelj and the Democracy Protection Network, warn that the amendment narrows the possibility of verifying whether the inquiry is justified by public interest, potentially滥
Aleš Gaube: Janša in the arms of the Israeli far right
The article discusses Janez Janša's shift in foreign policy towards Israel, particularly his efforts to improve relations with the Israeli extreme right before upcoming parliamentary elections. It highlights Janša's symbolic actions, such as renaming the West Bank to 'Judea and Samaria' and supporting Israeli expansion plans like the E1 settlement bloc around Jerusalem. The piece criticizes these moves as moving away from Slovenia's previous pro-Palestinian stance, which had enhanced the country's international reputation, especially among nations in the Global South. The article references Israeli Minister Bezalel Smotrič’s comments on creating historical facts through territorial expansion and contrasts this with the view that Slovenia's earlier support for Palestine was a wise decision aligned with international law.
Ukraine reports two dead after night attacks by Russia, with the death toll in Kiev rising to 30.
At least two people were killed and eight injured in Russian air strikes on the Sumy region and Kryvyj Rih in Ukraine during the night of Thursday to Friday, according to Ukrainian authorities. This follows a large-scale Russian attack on Kyiv earlier in the week which killed at least 30 people and injured around 100 others. In response to the attacks, Ukraine conducted missile strikes on Belgorod in Russia, causing a fire at an energy facility and killing one woman, according to Russian media. The overnight strike on the city of Romny in the Sumy region hit a residential building, killing two women and injuring a man, reported regional administrator Oleh Hryhorov via Telegram. Another seven people were injured in a missile strike on Kryvyj Rih, according to military city administrator Oleksandr Vilkul. In Kyiv, teams discovered three more dead bodies during the night, bringing the total number of victims to 30, according to Reuters citing Ukrainian health authorities. Kyiv's military administrator Tymur Tkačenko stated that the attack injured 99 people. Moscow claimed the extensive attack was a response to Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, including those carried
The class for himself: the wimp before the Tour has increased the advantage over Vingegaard
Tadej Pogačar currently leads the cycling rankings with 11,593 points, significantly ahead of Jonas Vingegaard, who has 8,625 points and won last year's Giro d'Italia. Pogačar's teammate Isaac del Toro ranks third with 5,340 points. Pogačar recently secured three stages and a team victory at the Swiss race, preparing him for his upcoming Tour de France campaign, where he aims to win his fifth overall title, matching a record. In the all-time weekly ranking, Pogačar is 248th, while his compatriot Primož Roglič holds the second spot with 75 weeks at the top. Roglič has climbed three places to become the 43rd best cyclist globally. Other Slovenian cyclists like Matej Mohorič and Jakob Omrzel are among the top 200 riders and will likely compete at the national championships. Slovenia's top eight cyclists have enough combined points to secure fourth place in the national standings, behind Belgium, Denmark, and France. In women's cycling, Dutch rider Demi Vollering leads with 6,705 points, followed by Spanish rider Paula Blasi and another Dutch cyclist Anna van der Breggen. Slovenian cyclist Urška Žigart, after suffering a jaw fracture during the Swiss race, has dropped to 37th in the U2
The Court of Justice of the EU confirms that Google acted unlawfully
The European Court of Justice has upheld a record fine of €4.1 billion imposed on Google by the European Commission in 2018 for breaching competition rules and abusing its dominant market position. The court rejected Google's appeal against this decision. According to the Consumer Association of Slovenia (ZPS), this ruling represents a significant victory for consumers, confirming that large technology companies cannot abuse their power to eliminate competition and limit consumer choice. One pillar of Google's business model is its Android operating system, which is open-source but does not include Google-owned applications like the Play Store, Google Maps, and Chrome. Manufacturers and telecom operators had to enter agreements with Google to install these services, which included conditions that limited competition and consumer choice. Critics argue that this practice hindered the development of alternative versions of Android.
Minister stops research on animals and climate: For him they are "activism"
The Slovenian Minister of Agriculture, Janez Cigler Kralj, has suspended a €3.5 million research funding call aimed at supporting agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and food production, citing 'activism' in the proposed research topics. The decision comes after he criticized the previous ministry leadership for poor management over the past four years, including financial mismanagement following the March 22 election. Cigler Kralj stated that the research proposals, which included controversial topics like the humane treatment of poultry and alternatives to animal testing, were deemed inappropriate for public funds intended to benefit farmers and producers. He apologized for the delayed notification to researchers and promised to reissue the call after a detailed review. Critics argue the move undermines scientific work and erodes public trust in research, while the minister claims the suspension was necessary to protect public finances.
Has the Constitutional Court disregarded the rule of law and ruled in favour of the usurpers of RTV?
The Constitutional Court of Slovenia has reportedly made a decision in the case involving RTV (Radio Television of Slovenia), with five judges voting against two. This decision could be seen as a blow to the rule of law, as critics argue the entire process surrounding the new RTV law has been heavily influenced by politics rather than legal or professional standards. The court previously stated it would not make content-related decisions, which confused many due to the significance of the issue for a key public institution. Two judges were excluded from the decision-making process due to potential conflicts of interest, including President Rok Čeferin, who has ties to a law firm associated with RTV, and Neža Kogovšek Šalamon, who worked at the Peace Institute involved in the referendum campaign related to the RTV law. Critics argue the new RTV law was politically motivated, giving significant influence over editorial policies to a leftist faction. The process was further complicated by legal challenges and lack of broad consensus, with opponents claiming the law allows any ruling party to reshape RTV according to their agenda.

The hated president stabbed Donald Trump and became a social media star.
On July 3, 2026, Swiss President Guy Parmelin wore a cap featuring the phrase 'Switzerland – Great Since 1291' during a World Cup match against Algeria in Vancouver. The cap was seen as a humorous nod to Donald Trump's 'Make America Great Again' slogan. The image of Parmelin's cap quickly spread across social media, with many praising it as a confident and witty representation of Swiss history. Switzerland won the match 2-0 and advanced to the quarterfinals, where they will face the winner of the Colombia vs. Ghana match. Meanwhile, Donald Trump appears to be absent from the World Cup, likely occupied with preparations for Independence Day celebrations in the United States.

In the tropical Pacific, El Niño conditions have set in, researchers say.
The article reports that researchers from New Zealand’s Earth Sciences organization (ESNZ) have identified conditions consistent with the El Niño climate phenomenon in the tropical Pacific. They warn that impacts on New Zealand’s weather are likely to intensify over the coming months. The ESNZ joined other organizations in Australia, Japan, and the U.S. in confirming the development of El Niño, which is expected to reach strong intensity between July and September. The effects are projected to peak during the Southern Hemisphere summer, spanning late 2023 into early 2024. According to lead researcher Chris Brandolini, this El Niño event is at least comparable in strength to five of the strongest recorded El Niños in modern history. The article outlines regional rainfall expectations, noting potential below-average precipitation in some areas and above-normal levels in others. It also mentions possible temperature fluctuations and increased wind variability later in the year. Additionally, it notes two lower-probability risks: sudden stratospheric warming and the occurrence of a tropical cyclone outside the typical season, both historically linked to El Niño. Brandolini connects the
Fat guy's term as head of the SDH is over.
The article reports that Žiga Debeljak, president of the Slovenian State Holding (SDH), will resign from his position on September 30th by mutual agreement. His departure occurs during a period when the government under Prime Minister Janez Janša is preparing a comprehensive reform of state asset management, including the abolition of SDH. Debeljak had been leading SDH since September 2022 and was set to start a new four-year term in September 2024, but this was confirmed by the previous government led by Robert Golob. The article suggests that this decision reflects the left wing’s attempt to secure power for itself, which has caused public discontent. It also notes that coalition partners, such as SD, did not agree with this move. Current Prime Minister Janez Janša strongly opposed the extension of Debeljak’s mandate, expressing his disagreement publicly. The Supervisory Board of SDH acknowledged Debeljak’s contributions and highlighted the successful performance of the holding in the past year. The resignation coincides with broader systemic reforms aimed at creating a more centralized, transparent, and strategically oriented system for managing state assets, intended to ensure穩
Allegri has a new club in Italy.
Massimiliano Allegri has been appointed as the new head coach of Napoli, officially confirmed by the club after weeks of speculation. This marks his return to Italian football after leaving AC Milan following an unsuccessful 2025 season. Allegri previously coached Juventus and Milan, achieving five Serie A titles and two Champions League finals with Juventus, as well as one Serie A title with Milan. His tenure at Milan ended abruptly after a dramatic decline in performance, culminating in a fifth-place finish in the league and failure to qualify for the Champions League. He now joins Napoli, where he will succeed Antonio Conte.
Slovenian charity collects aid for people in Venezuela after devastating earthquake
Slovenia's Caritas has begun collecting funds to assist residents of Venezuela affected by two powerful earthquakes measuring 7.2 and 7.5 that struck on June 24. The natural disaster caused casualties, injuries, and significant damage to housing and infrastructure. Many people were left homeless and without basic necessities. The situation is further complicated by Venezuela's ongoing political and economic crisis, which has led to widespread poverty and lack of access to food, water, electricity, medicine, and fuel. Caritas Venezuela immediately started helping those affected and called on the international Caritas network for solidarity. Slovenia's Caritas, which has supported humanitarian programs in Venezuela since 2017, responded with a new fundraising campaign. Caritas Venezuela's executive director emphasized the fragility of human life and the need for mutual solidarity, stating that Caritas is present among people to provide comfort and concrete assistance. Staff members are assessing the damage and gathering data on urgent needs. Caritas Venezuela has established a national collection center for clean water, unspoiled food, medicines, and financial contributions. In the几天
