The article discusses the enforcement of the parliamentary ethics code in Slovenia, focusing on the case of Lenart Žavbi from the Sloboda party who was reprimanded for speaking disrespectfully during a session. The article highlights that while Žavbi received a sanction, other controversial figures like Boris Mijič from Resničar and Parlamenter were not held accountable. It notes that the previous parliament lacked effective enforcement due to a boycott by SDS, and current efforts aim to establish uniform standards. Legal expert Dr. Miro Cerar emphasizes the need for equal application of ethical rules.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the lack of accountability for figures like Mijič as a systemic issue, implying a failure in ethical oversight.

A group of former members of Slovenia’s Human Rights Committee has collected over 44,600 signatures to call for a referendum on a recently passed amendment to the law on parliamentary investigations. The proposed referendum aims to challenge whether Slovenia will continue to operate under a system where political power is legally constrained by judicial oversight or if it will shift toward a model where political actors have unchecked control over investigative mechanisms. Critics argue that the amendment removes individuals’ ability to appeal against decisions made by parliamentary investigation committees at the Constitutional Court, effectively enabling a form of 'political police.' The amendment would allow politicians to access personal data—including banking records, private communications, audio and video recordings—without requiring court approval. The Constitutional Court is expected to decide soon on the legality of this referendum.
