Phasing back into the streets, the smell of chemicals on the roof: Where are the cops?

At the start of the new school year, older students in Slovenia marked their younger peers with colorful markers and sprays in a tradition known as 'fazeniranje' (initiation). This occurred notably in Čopova Street in Ljubljana, where first-year high school students were painted with alcohol-based markers and colored sprays on their clothes, hair, hands, and other body parts. The event caused chaos, with bystanders being targeted by the spraying. One witness described the street as smelling strongly of chemicals, with dirty pavements and scattered empty cans. A local resident expressed shock at the intensity of the initiation, noting that it had surpassed previous boundaries. Meanwhile, in Maribor, the traditional ritual spiraled out of control, leading to incidents involving eggs, flour, metal paint sprays, and requiring police intervention. One student reportedly lost consciousness and needed medical attention.
