Who's been hanging out at the Lower Masonic Lodge?

The article discusses a social gathering at a local venue in Lower Styria attended by former political figures, including Milan Kučan, a former party leader, and Andrej Ribič, a former director of DARS and prominent member of the Freedom Movement. Ribič recently faced a house search linked to allegations involving MP Aleksander Štorek of Resni.ca, who claimed Ribič attempted to bribe him to switch parties during the formation of a leftist government. Štorek alleged that Ribič instructed someone named Kondi to deliver a message offering money, a house, and a car in exchange for Štorek’s defection. However, Ribič denied these claims, calling them fabricated. The investigation reportedly confirmed some aspects of Štorek’s testimony, including Ribič’s acknowledgment of receiving a message from Kondi, though he attributed this to a slip of the tongue. The article highlights ongoing legal scrutiny around Ribič and his connections.
