Nova24TVParty-alignedProgressiveFactual 85Objective 703 days ago Freedom today against SKOK, even though she offered it to Logar herself.The article discusses the political controversy surrounding the proposal to establish the Specialized Organ for Combating Corruption and Organized Crime (SKOK). The opposition party 'Svoboda' initially promoted the idea during coalition negotiations with the Democratic Party (Demokrati) led by Anže Logar, but now criticizes it as amateurish and politically motivated. The article highlights the perceived hypocrisy, suggesting that 'Svoboda' is rejecting a solution they previously supported as part of potential coalition agreements. It argues that the current criticism of SKOK is politically driven, aimed at shifting focus away from their own proposals and maneuvering during coalition talks. The article also notes that the initial coalition proposals from 'Svoboda' already included similar concepts, such as a centralized anti-corruption system and the establishment of a specialized prosecution unit. The piece questions why the same idea is now being criticized as inadequate or dangerous, implying a shift in stance based on political positioning.

Nova24TVParty-alignedProgressiveFactual 85Objective 554 days ago Minister Logar: The most vocal opponents of the SCOC say they support continued impunity for corruptionMinister za gospodarstvo Anže Logar zagovarja predlog zakona SKOK (Splošno kazen za korupcijo), kar je ključen ukrep v boju proti korupciji v Sloveniji. Po njegovem mnenju najglasnejši nasprotniki zakona dejansko branijo obstoječe stanje, kjer koruptivna dejanja ostajajo nekaznovana, zato njihovo nasprotovanje razume kot odpor do sprememb. Logar meni, da ga nasprotovanje opozicije na družbenih omrežjih ne moti, ampak ga utrjuje v prepričanju o pomenu zakona. Tudi če so nasprotujoci izražali srdito nasprotovanje, meni, da to le pokaže, kako veliko ropota obstaja v opozicijskih strankah. Poleg SKOK-a je predstavil še dva dosežka: začetek pogovorov o izgradnji dirkališča in sprejeto novelo zakona o gospodarskih družbah, ki povečuje preglednost in omogoča manjim podjetjem lažji dostop do kapitala.

NecenzuriranoIndependentConservativeFactual 75Objective 50 - Logar has fooled us again, and now he's leading an attack on the DA's office.The article discusses Anže Logar's new political project targeting Slovenia's prosecution service (tožilstvo), which he previously aimed to build a bridge to a new government under Janez Janša. The article argues that Logar's initiative, known as the Special Prosecution Office for Corruption and Organized Crime (SKOK), is not primarily focused on fighting systemic corruption but rather represents an attack on the prosecution service. It highlights concerns over the proposed law, which would allow the ruling coalition to directly appoint the head of the specialized prosecution office, increasing their autonomy in staffing decisions. The article references past attempts by Janša's third government, in which Logar was involved, to weaken the prosecution service during the pandemic by reducing salaries and delaying appointments. It also mentions Drago Šketa, the former chief state prosecutor, who faced criticism for not pursuing protesters over transparency issues and later fell from favor after failing an alcohol test. The piece connects these developments to ongoing tensions between the Slovenian right and the prosecution service.

DomovinaIndependentCenter10 hr. ago Jump in the pool?The article discusses a proposed reform by Slovenia's current government aimed at improving the prevention and prosecution of corruption and crime among 'official persons'—commonly referred to as 'white collar criminals.' The reform, named 'Skok,' is modeled after Croatia's 'Uskoc' program, which has been in place for 25 years.
