The article discusses an ongoing political controversy involving Slovenian MP Boris Mijič, who faces allegations of corruption and ethical violations. Left-wing parties Levica and Svoboda have proposed that the parliamentary committee on work call Mijič to resign due to these accusations. Zoran Stevanović, President of the Respublican Party (Resnica) and the National Assembly, has responded by stating that the government has already taken measures against Mijič and has criticized Luka Mesec, a spokesperson for Levica and Vesna, for past misconduct. The dispute is expected to continue during a parliamentary session where Mijič's accountability and adherence to the code of ethics for MPs will be discussed. Mesec accuses the government of failing to act decisively against corruption, pointing out that Mijič allegedly owes money to employees and the Financial Administration of Slovenia and falsified signatures to remove workers from social insurance.
