DemokracijaParty-alignedProgressiveFactual 92Objective 6510 days ago Indifference or sabotage? Since Gobola and Hana weren't there, they dropped their own SDS investigationThe article discusses an incident where several members of the Slovenian parliament, including Matjaž Han (SD), Robert Golob (Svoboda), and others, did not attend a session that could have led to the formation of an investigative committee. This absence prevented the committee from being established, which would have looked into whether the opposition party SDS ordered and paid for interviews by the private security firm Black Cube with representatives of the left-wing political, business, and legal elite. The investigation was previously conducted by Tamara Vonta (Svoboda) in the previous parliamentary term but was reportedly revived due to new information. The failure to form the committee is attributed to the absence of key members from both the left and SDS parties.
Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the absence of certain MPs as a potential sabotage or negligence, implying that their non-participation hindered the establishment of an investigative committee targeting the SDS party. The language used suggests criticism toward the SDS and highlights actions taken by left-wing (

24ur (POP TV)IndependentCenterFactual 90Objective 859 days ago The agenda has not been confirmed, the Black Cube investigation has not been ordered.The article discusses the failure to confirm the agenda for a parliamentary session in Slovenia, which was proposed by opposition parties including Freedom, Left, and Green and Civic (Levica in Vesna). The ruling coalition, consisting of the Social Democrats (SD), the Democratic Party of Pensioners (Demos), and the National Council of the Slovenian People (NSi), opposed the confirmation of the agenda. This decision prevents the initiation of two parliamentary investigations into the Black Cube scandal and allegations of covert financing of political parties. The Black Cube investigation would examine whether Israeli firm Black Cube conducted secret recordings of prominent figures, including politicians and lawyers, and whether representatives of the firm visited the headquarters of the Social Democrats (SDS) to influence the outcome of this year's parliamentary elections. The second investigation would look into potential hidden funding of political parties through connected business and media interests, possibly from abroad. Opposition leaders criticized the ruling coalition for blocking the agenda, calling it undemocratic, while the ruling coalition stated they would align on the
Bias read (Center): The article presents both the positions of the ruling coalition and the opposition regarding the failed confirmation of the parliamentary agenda. It includes quotes from both sides and does not show clear favoritism toward either group. The framing remains neutral, focusing on the procedural aspects

Nova24TVParty-alignedProgressiveFactual 85Objective 709 days ago Autogol on the left: Pigeon and Han's absence collapsed SDS's own investigationThe article reports on a parliamentary session where several lawmakers from the opposition parties failed to vote, leading to the cancellation of an investigation into potential misconduct by the ruling SDS party. The failure to vote was attributed to the absence of key members from the opposition parties, including those from Svoboda and Levica. The article mentions that the investigation would have examined whether SDS had ordered and paid for interviews with representatives of leftist political, business, and legal elites through the firm Black Cube, as well as the suspension of investigations against right-leaning media outlets. It notes that while the previous mandate saw the completion of such investigations under Tamara Vonta, new evidence has emerged suggesting the need to restart them. The article highlights the lack of discipline among the left-wing opposition, noting that they could have achieved a majority if more members had attended.
Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the failure to hold the investigation as a result of the left-wing opposition's lack of discipline, implying that their absence contributed to the cancellation. While it presents the issue as a matter of procedural integrity, the emphasis on the left-wing opposition's shortcomings
Why these scores (Factual 85 · Objective 70): Article accurately reports the failure of the motion due to lack of votes, citing specific MPs who did not attend. However, it leans toward the opposition narrative, suggesting the left intentionally failed to secure a majority, which may imply bias.
Radio OgnjiščeParty-alignedConservativeFactual 85Objective 607 days ago Stevanović Mesca with the recordings of the parliamentary sessions puts the lieThe article reports on a political dispute between Slovenia's ruling coalition and the opposition regarding the conduct of a parliamentary session. The opposition, led by Luka Mesec of the Left Party, alleges irregularities during a vote on establishing investigative commissions related to the Black Cube case and regional funding. They claim that the voting machine used by poslanka Tina Brecelj did not function properly, suggesting possible manipulation. President of the National Assembly Zoran Stevanović denies these claims, calling them false and presenting video footage to assert that all Left Party members voted, except Brecelj, who allegedly received a signal not to vote. The opposition disputes this, stating Brecelj did press the button but the system failed to record the vote. Stevanović has vowed not to respond further to such allegations, focusing instead on opposing the opposition. Commentator Peter Merše criticizes the opposition’s accusations as baseless, drawing parallels to past incidents where similar claims were made without evidence.
Bias read (Conservative): The article frames the opposition's claims as unfounded and misleading, using strong language like 'laž' (lie) and 'največjo prevaro v zgodovini parlamenta' (the greatest fraud in parliamentary history). It emphasizes the ruling coalition's stance against the opposition's alleged misconduct, while淡化
Why these scores (Factual 85 · Objective 60): Factual accuracy is high as it reports on the parliamentary session and the dispute between Stevanović and Mesec. However, the article presents a biased perspective by labeling Mesec’s claims as 'laž' (lies) and using emotionally charged language like 'največjo prevaro v zgodovini parlamenta', which
Nova24TVParty-alignedConservative3 hr. ago [Video] The transitional left is on its knees again, the Freedom MP with a vulgar outburstThe article reports on a parliamentary session in Slovenia where the 'transitional left' failed to include a proposal for a special commission to investigate the Black Cube construct, which was revealed during the previous election period. The failure to pass the agenda led to the non-occurrence of a vote on establishing such a commission. During the session, there were technical issues with voting equipment, leading to delays and repeated votes. The article mentions two ongoing investigative commissions: one related to the Black Cube and another targeting opposition media. It notes that the left wing aims to investigate the authors of the videos rather than address corruption. Additionally, there was a proposal to amend the law regarding national symbols, which the left has systematically undermined. The SDS party responded by stating that all parliamentary investigative committees must be established under equal legal conditions and criticized the current situation as preventing effective and equitable operation.
Bias read (Conservative): The article frames the actions of the 'transitional left' negatively, emphasizing their failure to establish investigative commissions and suggesting they seek to undermine national symbols. It highlights the SDS's stance as a counterbalance, portraying them as advocating for fairness and legality.
N1 SlovenijaIndependentCenter12 hr. ago Will the commission of inquiry be established at the second attempt or will another coalition maneuver follow?The Slovenian parliament is set to hold another extraordinary session today to decide on establishing two investigative committees into the Black Cube case and alleged illegal financing of political parties, which were requested by the opposition parties Freedom and Left. This follows a previous attempt last week, where the coalition failed to support the agenda, leading to the blocking of the committee formation. The coalition members—SDS, NSi, and Resonance—voted against the agenda, while the Democrats abstained. Several opposition MPs were absent, including Robert Golob, Janja Slug, Matjaž Han, and Vinka Logar. Additionally, leaders of Freedom and Left, Borut Sajovic and Tina Brecelj, did not vote but later denied this. The President of the National Assembly, Zoran Stevanović, approved the schedule for today’s session after the opposition submitted a request. However, the coalition has not yet revealed its plans for the session, raising concerns that they might again block the establishment of the committees.
Bias read (Center): The article provides a balanced account of the situation, detailing both the opposition's efforts to establish the committees and the coalition's potential resistance. It does not favor either side, presenting the facts neutrally without biased language or selective emphasis.
