Nova24TVParty-alignedProgressive4 hr. ago A deep state in panic over the JUMPThe Slovenian government has passed a law aimed at more effectively combating corruption, organized crime, and white-collar crimes through enhanced institutional cooperation and partial restructuring. The law has sparked opposition from various institutions and civil society groups who argue that it was rushed and lacked consultation with experts and the public. Critics label this group as 'deep state' actors, suggesting they operate outside democratic processes and could undermine elected authorities. The law's proponents include prominent legal figures like Dr. Matej Avbelj, while opponents include well-known civil rights advocates and officials from oversight bodies such as the Human Rights Defender, the Court of Accounts, and the Anti-Corruption Commission.

DemokracijaParty-alignedCenter19 hr. ago Symptomatic: 'independent' state institutions are not enthusiastic about the SKOK projectThe Slovenian government has confirmed a proposed law establishing specialized organs for handling corruption and organized crime cases, known as 'SKOK.' However, independent state institutions have expressed concerns over the lack of public consultation and transparency during the drafting process. They argue that such significant legal changes require adequate expert and public debate before implementation. The institutions criticized the government for not adhering to established procedures for involving the public in legislative processes. Similar past examples, like the Šutar Law, have shown that rushed legislative changes often lead to unconstitutional solutions. The updated criteria for the rule of law, adopted by the Venice Commission in December 2025, emphasize that high-quality legislation depends on transparent and inclusive legislative procedures. The Supreme Court and the Judicial Council were reportedly unaware of the proposal until after it was published, raising further concerns about the legitimacy of the process.

N1 SlovenijaIndependentCenter19 hr. ago Five independent institutions with multiple alerts on the Jump Act:Five independent institutions—Human Rights Ombudsman, Court of Auditors, Anti-Corruption Commission, Information Commissioner, and Equality Advocate—have jointly warned against the legislative process surrounding the proposed 'Skok' law. They argue that the rapid changes to complex legal matters typically do not lead to appropriate and constitutional solutions. The government has confirmed the proposal for specialized organs to handle corruption and organized crime cases, which includes restructuring the State Prosecution into the Skok prosecution body and establishing a new court for such cases. These institutions emphasized that the relevant public and stakeholders were not involved or informed during the process, nor is it known which experts contributed to the draft. They highlighted that this violates both the rules of the government’s procedural code and the resolution on normative activity. Similar past examples, like the Šutar Law and other omnibus laws, show that hasty changes often result in inadequate solutions. The updated criteria for the rule of law, adopted by the Venice Commission in December 2025, stress that the quality of legislation depends on a transparent,包容,和

RTV Slovenija (MMC)State / PublicCenter21 hr. ago Many public institutions about StKOK: We were not involved in the preparation and it is not known who participatedThe article reports on the reactions to Slovenia's proposed law on specialized anti-corruption and organized crime organs (StKOK). Multiple public institutions, including the Human Rights Commission, the Court of Accounts, the Anti-Corruption Commission, the Information Commissioner, and the Equality Advocate, have criticized the legislative process as inappropriate. They argue that the public and interested parties were not involved in the preparation of the law, nor was there transparency regarding who contributed to its drafting. The institutions emphasize the need for proper and timely expert and public debate before significant legal changes, citing past examples like Šutarjev Law as evidence that rushed legislation often leads to unconstitutional solutions.

DnevnikIndependent🔒Center21 hr. ago SKOK: most institutions point to an inadequate legislative procedureSeveral institutions, including the Ombudsman for Human Rights, the Comptroller General, the Anti-Corruption Commission, the Information Commissioner, and advocates for equality, have jointly criticized the Slovenian government's legislative process regarding the proposed law establishing the Specialized Organ for Combating Corruption and Organized Crime (SKOK). They argue that the rapid drafting of complex legal materials typically does not lead to appropriate and constitutionally sound solutions. The institutions emphasized that adequate professional and public discussion is essential before any major legislative changes, especially those as significant as this proposal. The government has confirmed the draft law, which would transform the Special State Prosecution into the SKOK prosecution unit and establish a new court for corruption-related cases. However, the institutions claim that neither the relevant public nor interested parties were included in the process, and it remains unclear which experts contributed to the preparation of the bill. Similar concerns were raised in past instances such as the Šutar Law and other omnibus laws. The updated criteria for the rule of law,采纳

VečerIndependent🔒Center22 hr. ago (PHOTO) Logar about the leap: Previous measures may have been well-intentioned but not comprehensiveAnže Logar, minister za gospodarstvo, in Mihael Zupančič, pravosodni minister, sta sklicala novinarsko konferenco v stavbi pravosodnega ministrstva v Ljubljani, kjer so razglasili predlog zakona o specializiranih organih za borba z korupcijo in organiziranim kriminalom (Skok). Logar je dejal, da je javnost bila izpuščena iz procesa oblikovanja zakona zaradi politične volje za učinkovito borbo proti korupciji, medtem ko je vključena 'strokovna javnost'. Zupančič je poudaril, da so pri pripravi zakona posvetovali z sodniki in tožilci, a ni bilo na očeh javnosti. Logar je opozoril, da je potrebna odgovornost vseh, vključno z sodnjem in tožilcem, za uspešen pregon korupcije. Zakon bo šel v parlamentarno proceduro jeseni, in s tem bo pospešen pregon korupcije belih ovratnikov.
