Good day of hunger

The article discusses the historical and systemic issue of poverty and famine in Slovenia during the period of Janez Janša's governance. It references the sudden appearance of famine under the communist regime, which disappeared after the return of 'healthy forces' to power but re-emerged with Janša's third government. The author criticizes the policies of Janša's administration, suggesting they contributed to food shortages and hardship among citizens. The piece also draws parallels between Slovenia's experience and famines in other countries like Ethiopia, India, and Ukraine, highlighting how such crises were often linked to socialist regimes. The article notes that these historical contexts are rarely taught in schools and are largely absent from current media discourse.
