Director: "Phasing is not part of folklore, it's about humiliation and torture".

The headmaster of the Secondary Vocational and Technical School in Murska Sobota, Ludvik Sukič, has condemned the practice of 'fazaniranje' (mocking new students) as a form of humiliation and bullying. At various secondary schools across Slovenia, new students are welcomed with traditional rituals, but in some cases, these have turned into violent incidents where older students have physically abused newcomers by painting them with harmful substances, throwing flour, eggs, and other objects. In Maribour, the situation escalated to chaos, with one girl losing consciousness. While the police have called for reports from those who were victims of this unwanted treatment, the school in Murska Sobota had already warned students about such behavior before the start of the academic year.
