Freedom Fighters Outraged by the Referendum on the Intervention Law

The article discusses concerns raised by the Slovenian association of self-employed hosts regarding the potential economic impact of a new law limiting short-term rentals to 60 days per year in certain tourist areas. The law, part of an interventionist bill introduced by the current government, has been challenged in court, leading to a referendum being allowed. The association warns that the new law has caused significant disruption and legal uncertainty, estimating damages of up to 200 million euros for destinations and 50 million euros for the state budget. They argue that the law fails to properly implement EU regulations and has created a legal vacuum where activities continue under outdated rules.
