The article reveals that Minister Tone Kajzer has initiated a criminal investigation against former minister Tanja Fajon and her former subordinate Barbara Žvokelj. The investigation stems from allegations that Žvokelj, while serving as general secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Affairs (MZEZ), improperly nominated Fajon for a high-level EU position without proper authority. According to the indictment, Žvokelj, who was directly under Fajon, submitted the nomination through the ministry’s secretariat despite lacking the necessary powers. The ministry claims this action violated Slovenian law and disrupted established procedures. Kajzer has requested that the prosecution investigate all relevant documents and initiate a criminal case against Žvokelj. The article notes that Fajon had previously been appointed as a special representative for the Sahel region, during which time Slovenia increased development funds for the area significantly.

The article discusses the nomination process of former Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon for the position of Special Representative of the European Union for the Sahel region, which ended in failure due to criticism over procedural transparency. The nomination was initiated by Barbara Žvokelj, the former general secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Affairs, who personally signed the nomination letter. Critics argue that this action occurred during a period when Fajon was handling only current affairs without clear governmental decision-making, leading to accusations of lack of transparency and national coordination. The new government criticized the nomination as legally questionable due to the overstepping of authority by Žvokelj. Despite these issues, Žvokelj’s involvement did not appear to harm her career, as she had already been decided upon for appointment as Slovenian ambassador to Denmark before the new government took office.

Bias read (Center): While the article presents criticisms of the nomination process and highlights potential legal and procedural issues, it does not overtly favor any particular political side. It reports on both the actions of the previous administration and the subsequent criticism from the new government, without a

The article discusses the controversy surrounding Tanja Fajon's potential appointment as the European Union's special representative for the Sahel region. Initially thought to be confirmed, her nomination was withdrawn by High Representative Kaja Kallas due to alleged lobbying 'from within' and legal violations. The article claims that Fajon's nomination was proposed by the former ministry secretary Barbara Žvokelj rather than the previous Golob government, which undermines any claim of revenge from the new administration. It states that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Affairs (MZEZ) concluded that the nomination process was flawed because the proposal did not come from the current government but from an internal figure under Fajon's direct supervision. The article criticizes the lack of proper procedures and suggests that this reflects a broader issue of procedural integrity in political appointments.

Bias read (Conservative): The article frames the situation as a violation of procedural norms and highlights the improper origin of Fajon's nomination, suggesting a lack of accountability. It emphasizes the withdrawal of support by the new government and criticizes the previous administration's actions, implying a right-wing
