Nova24TVParty-alignedProgressiveFactual 96Objective 974 days ago Constitutional Judge Svetlič: Reference to depoliticization cannot justify any legal decision and, in particular, does not interfere with the mandateUstavni sodnik dr. Rok Svetlič je v ločenem mnenju odbijal odločitev Ustavnega sodišča, ki je pritrdila Golobovi noveli Zakona o RTV Sloveniji. Svetlič meni, da je prenehanje mandatov ex lege izreden instrument zakonodajalca, ki zahteva samostojno utemeljitev, in da sklicevanje na legitimne cilje ne more utemeljiti pravne odločitve. Njegova kritika vključuje trditev, da ex lege poseg v mandate krši zahtevo, da morajo biti zakonodajne rešitve splošne in abstraktne, ter da to povzroči prekršek mehanizma zavor in ravnovesij, predvidenega 3. členom Ustave. Svetlič opozarja, da takšen poseg vodi na porušitev neodvisnosti institucije, kar je pogoj za delovanje demokracije. Vlada in Državni zbor nista podala razlogov za ex lege poseg v mandate.

Info360IndependentCenterFactual 60Objective 506 days ago With what arguments did the Constitutional Court "fire" the purge on RTV Slovenia?The Constitutional Court of Slovenia has ruled that the 2022 law reforming RTV Slovenia, introduced by Prime Minister Robert Golob, is constitutional. The court found that the new composition of RTV Slovenia’s board ensures greater independence from politics and better representation of societal interests. Key points include the constitutionality of the new board structure, which includes employees, independent state organs, and civil society organizations, thereby reducing political influence.

Asta Vrečko, who as the only minister has shouted in front of RTV how people who think differently should leave and how money should be allocated to her media, speaks about the constitutionality of the law!The article discusses Asta Vrečko, a Slovenian politician and former minister, who has been vocal about the legality and rights of individuals, particularly regarding the state-owned broadcaster RTV Slovenia. Vrečko is noted as the only minister in Slovenian history to have publicly criticized RTV Slovenia and demanded accountability from those with differing views. The article claims she argues that the law governing RTV Slovenia is constitutional but does not address the composition of the Constitutional Court, which is described as left-leaning and politically influenced. Additionally, Vrečko is accused of opposing a potential referendum on whether citizens should pay contributions to RTV Slovenia, allegedly because the broadcaster serves political propaganda and employs activists at taxpayer expense. Former head of RTV Slovenia, Uroš Urbanija, criticizes her policies, stating they led to his departure from the national media.
