What did Matjaž Han accuse the former European Member of Parliament and state secretary of?
Former Slovenian Social Democrats (SD) member Milan Brglez has expressed strong disapproval over the party’s local cooperation with the Resni.ca party, comparing it to German social democrats allying with the far-right AfD. Brglez stated he is considering leaving the SD and has stopped paying membership fees, citing the unacceptable nature of such alliances. In response, SD President Matjaž Han accused Brglez of ingratitude, noting that the party had previously helped him secure roles in Brussels and as a state secretary. The controversy stems from a leaked audio recording involving Resni.ca leader Zoran Stevanovic and Kranj mayor Matjaz Rakovac discussing land deals for an Orthodox church, which raised concerns about improper influence. Han criticized Rakovac’s handling of the issue but noted his concern for the party’s performance in upcoming local elections. Additionally, the article mentions other challenges facing Han, including legal issues involving another SD-backed candidate in Izola.

This article reports that Edvard 'Edi' Grubelić, the lead candidate for the Resni.ca party in the Ljubljana local elections, had over 6 million euros in personal debt discharged by a court after his bankruptcy proceedings concluded in early 2024. The publication states that these debts primarily originated from four failed companies where Grubelić served as guarantor, noting that the bankruptcy estate yielded only a few thousand euros for creditors. The piece highlights that Grubelić was previously acquitted of fraud charges related to a leasing dispute with Hypo Leasing, a case in which current Resni.ca leader Zoran Stevanović was employed at the time. Additionally, the article contextualizes Grubelić’s background by mentioning his father, Sandi Grubelić, who was convicted of major fraud in 1995, and notes that Grubelić remains a key figure within Stevanović’s political organization.

Why objectivity (30): The tone is highly critical and uses loaded language such as 'sporna poslovno preteklost' (disputable business past), 'potopil' (sankered/sunk) companies, and rhetorical questions implying guilt or negligence ('In zakaj upnikom ni uspelo...').

This article summarizes a segment from the Slovenian talk show 'Ura resnice,' featuring guests Aljuš Pertinač and Dr. Boštjan M. Turk discussing Zoran Stevanović, the president of the National Assembly and leader of the Resni.ca party. The discussion centers on whether Stevanović has abandoned his sovereignist principles by facilitating the survival of Prime Minister Janez Janša’s government. Dr. Turk argues that Stevanović remains true to sovereignty but faces intense negative media scrutiny because he does not blindly support Robert Golob, whereas Pertinač contends that Stevanović now views power merely as a tool for personal goals. Pertinač further attributes the 'Serbianization' of Slovenian society primarily to Robert Golob, while claiming Stevanović contributes to this trend through his political approach, which mirrors Serbian practices. The piece concludes by noting the show’s broadcast schedule and availability on various digital platforms.

Bias read (Center): The article presents direct quotes from both opposing figures (Brglez and Han) regarding their dispute and neutrally reports the background scandal involving the leaked audio, balancing critical perspectives from multiple parties without adopting a specific ideological stance.
