My Unfounded Opinion on the increase in the price of railway infrastructure upgrades

The article discusses claims by the portal 'Moja Dolenjska' that the costs of upgrading railway infrastructure in Slovenia have increased significantly during the tenure of Infrastructure Minister Alenka Bratušek. The portal published an article citing data collected using AI tools, which suggested some projects had increased in cost by over 100%. However, representatives from the company 2TDK, responsible for the second track project between Divača and Koper, stated that the project remained within its initial financial framework and had not been inflated. Other projects, such as upgrades to railway stations in Ljubljana, Jesenice, Brezovica, Preserje, and Vnanje Gorice, were also mentioned with discrepancies between the reported costs and those provided by the Directorate for Infrastructure (DRSI). Officials at DRSI clarified that some costs had slightly increased but emphasized that no formal requests had been made to alter contract values for unfinished projects.
