Uncensored.si - Mahnič attacks the constitutional judges, ideologue of the SDS Jambrek about ignoring the decisionsPoslanec SDS Žan Mahnič je na družbenem omrežju X označil ustavne sodnike za „bedake“, kar je povzročilo kritiko zaradi njegovega opozarjanja na potrebo po 'resen razmislek' glede upoštevanja odločitev ustavnega sodišča. Mahnič je izrazil sum, da bi ustavno sodišče lahko postalo 'irelevantno', če bi leva večina sprejela odločitve brez ustavne podlage. Premier Janez Janša je ocenil odločitev kot 'vladavino neizvoljenih'. Ideolog SDS Peter Jambrek je pred tem v intervjuju opozoril na možnost 'ustavne krize' v primeru takšnih odločitev. Odločitev o referendumu o interventnem zakonu je bila skoraj soglasna, kljub temu pa je SDS še vedno kritiziral leve in desne. Sestava ustavnega sodišča vključuje devet sodnikov, med drugim Katjo Šugman Stubbs, Roka Čeferina, Roka Svetliča in Nežo Kogovšek Šalamon.

It references a recent decision by the Constitutional Court regarding the legality of a referendum on intervention measures and criticizes the interpretation of this ruling by SDS member Žan Mahnič, who appears to suggest that the party could govern unilaterally.
