Kandidat za gradonačelnika Krka u slučaju izbora za posavski referendum o Jek 2

Dušan Šiško, a candidate for mayor of the Municipality of Krško, has pledged to push for a referendum on the construction of the second block of the Krško Nuclear Power Plant (JEK 2) if elected. Šiško, who is backed by the List Dušan Šiško, Energično za Mestno občino Krško, supports the project but believes residents of the Posavje region should have a say before construction begins. He emphasized the need for a development law outlining all necessary preparations for the area prior to starting the nuclear plant’s construction. This law, he said, should be adopted before the national spatial plan for JEK 2 is finalized. Šiško stated he would also work to resolve outstanding issues related to the existing power plant, particularly the question of waste storage facilities. He argued that the investment should benefit all citizens and future generations, not just individuals or interest groups. As a former member of the Slovenian Democratic Party (SNS) and current municipal councilor, Šiško believes his experience and connections will help advance key projects in Krško, including the start of bridge construction in Brestanica, the renovation of the building at Cesta Krških Žrtv 55, the expansion of the Krško Health Centre and Senovo Health Station, and the completion of the Matija Gubča Stadium. Regarding the wastewater treatment plant, Šiško agrees it must be built but has not specified which of several possible locations should be chosen. He said this decision should be made primarily with local residents. Šiško believes his experience as a former MP and long-serving municipal councilor gives him the contacts and expertise needed to move forward with these projects. He also plans to improve communication with citizens by establishing a special advisory body composed of people from diverse backgrounds and areas. This group would assist him in making decisions. His campaign slogan, “Energetic for the Municipality of Krško,” reflects his belief that the municipality needs energy to better utilize its potential. Šiško will run for both the mayoralty and the municipal council, fielding candidates in all five electoral units within the municipality. He expects to secure at least five of the 30 council seats and anticipates a runoff in the mayoral race, according to internal polls. Other candidates for mayor include current mayor Janez Kerin (List Janez Kerin), Janja Starc (SLS and Prerod), and Tajana Dvoršek (Movement Freedom).
