Pigeon and Han's absence collapsed their own SDS investigation.

The article reports on the collapse of an extraordinary parliamentary session in Slovenia due to the absence of several lawmakers, including Matjaž Han (SD), Robert Golob (Svoboda), and others. The session ended abruptly after they refused to vote on the daily agenda. With 34 deputies voting 'for' and 38 against, the parliament did not establish an investigative commission to examine whether the opposition SDS had ordered and paid interviews with representatives of leftist political, business, and legal elites through the firm Black Cube. The article notes that this was previously led by Mojca Pašek Šetinc (Svoboda, later SD) and Tamara Vonta (Svoboda), who were involved in investigating right-leaning media outlets. It highlights the lack of discipline among both left and right factions, with some lawmakers present but refusing to vote. The article includes social media comments criticizing the behavior of certain politicians during the session.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the refusal to form an investigative commission as a failure of the ruling parties (SD, Sloboda, Levica) to hold their own members accountable. It emphasizes the involvement of right-leaning media and suggests that the current leadership of these parties has not taken action, hint
