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

Bled Shame: €200 fine for people cooling off under trees in the heat
The article reports on a controversy in Slovenia regarding fines imposed by local authorities on tourists and locals who seek shade under trees during extreme heat. The fines, set at 200 euros, are applied in areas designated for specific uses like swimming or resting, such as the coastal strip between Grahovo beach and the Grand Hotel Toplice. These zones are marked with warning signs and fencing, but some visitors continue to use them for cooling off. Local authorities claim they are protecting the coastline from erosion and enforcing rules, while critics argue the fines are excessive and counterproductive, especially during heatwaves. Social media reactions include both support and strong criticism, with some users mocking the enforcement and others accusing local authorities of prioritizing luxury tourism over accessibility.
