Another twist in the saga of Tee Koshir: not to the Ministry of Infrastructure, he returns to his company

Tee Košir, former state secretary at the Ministry of Health and member of the National Assembly, has decided to exit politics entirely. After a series of changes involving her position, she will return to her private company starting tomorrow rather than taking up a role at the Infrastructure Directorate as previously planned. Košir was elected to the National Assembly on the list of Anže Logar's Democrats and later became a state secretary under Minister Tadej Ostrc. However, she recently resigned from her parliamentary seat after initially declining to step down at Logar's request. Her decision to take a job at the Infrastructure Directorate sparked controversy, with opposition parties accusing it of being a form of quid pro quo for her parliamentary mandate. The case was reportedly brought to the Anti-Corruption Commission. Košir now plans to fully withdraw from politics, leaving behind the ongoing narrative around her career moves.

Tea Košir, a member of the Democratic Party and former state secretary at the Ministry of Health, has stepped down from her position as a member of parliament following a series of public reversals. She announced her resignation from the parliamentary seat on October 13, after initially stating she would continue as an independent MP after leaving the Democrats. However, she later changed her mind and submitted her resignation on Tuesday. Košir will take up a new role at the Infrastructure Directorate, part of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy led by NSi president Jernej Vrtovec. Košir had previously announced her resignation from the state secretary position on September 26, stating that threats were made against her. She had also indicated she would step down from her parliamentary role, though she later reversed this decision. On October 11, she stated she would leave the Democratic Party and continue as an independent MP. This was followed by another reversal on Tuesday, when she confirmed her departure from the National Assembly. In an interview with RTV Slovenia's program Tarča, Košir explained that she decided to accept the position at the Infrastructure Directorate as a compromise, allowing her to focus on her personal interests while ensuring the party received a competent parliamentary representative. She did not specify who offered her the job or how the appointment came about. The Commission for the Prevention of Corruption (KPK) has initiated a preliminary review into potential influences or pressures surrounding Košir’s new employment, as well as her previous role as a state secretary. The commission confirmed it launched the process on its own initiative. Košir mentioned that threats were linked to land purchases in Bled, which she bought with her husband during the summer. She claimed that these threats suggested the purchase might be viewed suspiciously, implying she obtained the funds through questionable means. However, she declined to comment on who issued the threats. Anže Logar, leader of the Democratic Party, responded to questions about whether Košir was offered the infrastructure job in exchange for stepping down from her parliamentary seat. He stated that Košir made the decision based on her own judgment and emphasized that she conducted discussions with local committees and representatives from the Democratic Party in her region. According to Logar, the decision was hers alone. Logar also addressed concerns over alleged threats against Košir, stating that if such threats occurred, they should be reported immediately. He noted that the minister had already contacted Košir to clarify the circumstances, emphasizing zero tolerance for such situations. Other political figures have commented on the situation. Luka Simonič from the SDS expressed hope that Košir would clarify the background of her resignation. Borut Sajović, head of the Freedom parliamentary group, described the incident as one of the largest corruption scandals in Slovenia’s 35-year history. He denied any involvement from his party in pressuring Košir. Questions remain regarding the circumstances of Košir’s resignation, the nature of the alleged threats, and the possible connection to her new job offer. These issues remain open, with further developments expected. Košir had been appointed as state secretary at the Ministry of Health by government decree on June 10, 2026. She submitted her resignation from that role on September 28, 2026. Additional coverage indicates that Košir may return to her private business instead of taking the infrastructure position, suggesting she has finalized plans related to property she owns in Bled, including obtaining building permits and project approvals. This would mark her definitive exit from politics, leaving behind the controversy surrounding her career moves.

Uncensored.si - We are witnessing the beginning of the political end of Anget Logar #comment

Anje Logar thinks we're all fools

The article discusses the political maneuvering involving Anže Logar, leader of the Democratic Party (Demokrati), and former MP Tea Košir. Košir reportedly wanted to remain in parliament but faced pressure from Logar, who allegedly had different plans. Košir eventually resigned and accepted a temporary position at the infrastructure directorate. The article highlights concerns within the ruling coalition over losing parliamentary support, especially after Košir’s return to parliament would have forced the resignation of group leader Elena Zavadlav Ušaj. It also criticizes the party for circumventing legal requirements, such as falsifying dates to allow former officials like Aleš Novak to join advisory boards. The piece contrasts Logar’s party with the opposition SDS, suggesting that despite initial promises of openness, Logar’s actions reflect a more rigid, right-leaning approach.

Bias read (Conservative): The article frames Anže Logar’s actions as authoritarian and dismissive of democratic norms, using terms like 'nas ima za norce' ('thinks they’re crazy') and criticizing his manipulation of parliamentary rules. It portrays Logar’s party as moving toward a rigid, right-leaning stance, contrasting it
