Affiliation & stance
Lokalec.si is a privately owned, commercially financed local outlet, which makes it INDEPENDENT in the ownership sense (no party or state owns it). Its coverage of Maribor-area politics leans center-right, but this reflects editorial tone rather than formal party or state control; no verified evidence of direct party ownership of BK TV was found.

On Tuesday, a new increase in fuel prices?
Cene nafte na svetovnih trgih se ponovno dvigujejo, kar lahko vodi do novih podražitev goriv v Sloveniji. Cena severnomorske nafte Brent je narasla na 95 dolarjev za 159-litrski sod, kar predstavlja povečanje za 6,6 odstotka v primerjavi z nedavno. Glavni dejavnik za rast cen je napetost na Bližnjem vzhodu, kjer je Hormuška ožina, pomembna pot za prevoz nafte, močno omejena zaradi sporov med Iranom in ZDA. Po ocenah portala Finance bi se cena 95-oktanskega bencina prihodnji torek zvišala za več kot dva centa na liter, kar bi pomenilo povečanje na 1,605 evra. Dizel bi se lahko podražil za štiri cente, kar bi pomenilo povečanje na 1,90 evra, medtem ko bi se kurilno olje podražilo za približno štiri cente, kar bi pomenilo povečanje na 1,51 evra.

Minister Cigler King at the AGRA fair announces €8.1 million in aid to farmers
Minister za kmetijstvo Janez Cigler Kralj je na 64. Mednarodnem kmetijsko-živilskem sejmu AGRA objavil, da bo država in Evropska unija skupaj poskušala zagotoviti 8,1 milijona evrov pomoči kmetom zaradi višjih cen energentov in gnojil. Od tega bo 5,4 milijona iz državnega proračuna in 2,7 milijona iz evropskih sredstev. Pomoč bo v obliki pavšalnega plačila na hektar, kar bo veljal za kmetije, ki so vpisani v register in izpolnjujejo določene pogoje. Poleg tega bo ministrstvo pospešilo izplačila pomoči zaradi lanskih vremenskih ujm, pri čemer bo do avgusta izplačana glavnina sredstev zaradi suše v višini 8,45 milijona evrov, kar bo skupno pomoč ob suši preseglo 16 milijonov evrov. Tudi izplačilo več kot 6 milijonov evrov zaradi škode po lanski pozebi bo sledilo. Minister je poudaril, da so letos bile ujme močno prizadele slovensko kmetijstvo, zato so ukrepi usmerjeni v krepitev odpornosti kmetij. Predstavljeni so bili tudi tri ključne usmerjitve ministrstva: digitalizacija, generacijska prenova in krepitev lokalne pridelave hrane. Digitalna orodja naj bi pomagala kmetom pri odločitvah, zmanjšali stroške in povečali konkurenčnost. Posebna pozornost je namenjena mladim kmetom, ki potr
Post Slovenije last two years without additional branch closures
Pošta Slovenije trenutno upravlja z 294 lastnimi poslovalnicami, 156 pogodbenimi in 25 premičnimi poštami. Od leta 2016 do maja 2024 so zaprli 73 poslovalnic in eno premično pošto, medtem ko so v zadnjih dveh letih nobeno pošto zaprli. Pogodbene pošte predstavljajo tretjino omrežja, in njihovo prihodnost bo odvisna od poslovnih potreb in uporabnikov. Na Pošti Slovenije so poudarili, da so vse čase izpolnjevali zakonske zahteve glede dostopnosti storitev, in da število zaprtij ne odraža dejanske dostopnosti. Tudi v drugih evropskih državah se opazuje trend prehoda na partnerski model. Lani so spremenili delovne čase v 164 poslovalnicah, pri čemer so v večini primerov skrajšali delovni čas, medtem ko so še vedno zagotavljali dostop do storitev.
