Janša provokes, the government shoots, and the Pigeons pack.
The weekly 'Tedenski safari' episode covered recent developments in Slovenian politics, highlighting several contentious issues. Parliamentary proceedings were marked by an unexpected 4-minute extraordinary session of the National Council, where opposition members sought to establish two investigative commissions but the meeting ended prematurely due to unresolved agenda items. The absence of some opposition MPs, including Robert Golob and Matjaž Han, weakened their position. Meanwhile, Luka Mesec accused Zoran Stevanović of manipulating voting procedures, which Stevanović refuted with evidence. The Social Democrats (SDS), who opposed the agenda change, announced they would not sign a cooperation agreement with the government. Additionally, Prime Minister Janez Janša faced criticism over his stance on Palestinian recognition and potential diplomatic moves, while other politicians like Stevanović and others encountered internal controversies involving financial mismanagement and legal disputes. The episode provided a critical and humorous overview of these political tensions.
