Not the bellybutton, but the ass.

The article criticizes Slovenia's political leadership and society for declining national identity and pride, comparing the country to a ' Balkan governorate' lacking dignity. It accuses voters of always being wrong and politicians of greed, laziness, and elitism, while highlighting their failure to address national responsibilities. The piece specifically targets President Nataşa Pirc Musar, criticizing her handling of European Parliament affairs, her ideological blindness regarding historical issues like the communist regime, and her perceived insensitivity toward victims of communist violence. It also condemns other figures such as Francesca Albanese, a controversial Italian politician who has been criticized for her pro-Hamas stance and alleged anti-Israel activities, suggesting she was improperly welcomed by Slovenian elites.
