The opposition has filed a motion to remove Zoran Stevanović, the president of the National Assembly, over alleged constitutional violations. Despite parliamentary recesses running from July 15 to September 1, which typically prevent regular sessions, political activity has remained intense. On Tuesday, a faction of the opposition submitted a proposal to dismiss Stevanović, citing his actions regarding opposition investigative committees as a breach of constitutional order. The motion was supported by members of Freedom, SD, and the Left, who accused him of abusing the constitution, particularly referencing the Mijič affair. Luka Mesec, a member of the Left party, stated in a media statement that someone occupying the position of president of the National Assembly should not be allowed to violate the constitution. Constitutional lawyers Ciril Ribičič, Albin Igličar, Miro Cerar, and Matej Avbelj have confirmed that the coalition and the Resni.ca party’s actions, specifically their rejection of the agenda blocking the determination of a parliamentary investigation into the Black Cube scandal, constitute a direct violation of the constitution. Stevanović responded to the motion via Instagram, stating that the proposal is based on a mistaken assumption that he has failed in his duties. He emphasized that he called two extraordinary sessions within the legal timeframe and included all requested points on the agenda proposed by the motion's sponsors. This would be the eleventh motion to remove the president of the National Assembly in the history of the independent state, with all previous attempts failing. A secret vote requiring 46 parliamentary votes is necessary for removal. On October 11, lawmakers scheduled an extraordinary session to hold a legislative referendum on amending the law on parliamentary investigations. The referendum question will ask whether voters support the implementation of the amendment to the law on parliamentary investigations (ZPPre-B), adopted by the National Assembly on May 26, 2026. This date could become a "super-referendum day," as the coalition and Resni.ca proposed holding three additional advisory referendums on the same day. These include questions on whether the right to financial social assistance for working-age individuals without objective barriers to employment should be conditional on performing community service, whether mandatory payment of RTV contributions should be abolished, and whether citizens of the Republic of Slovenia and other EU countries, but not third countries, should have voting rights in local elections. The left-wing opposition suggested establishing two permanent referendum days, the second Sunday in April and October. Meanwhile, the summer camp of the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) began in Bovc with traditional meetings of municipal councils, members, and supporters of the SDS and the Gorniški Klub Dr. Henrika Tume. Janez Janša highlighted that the annual camp had evolved into the largest political gathering and the biggest political family meeting in Slovenia. Over two weeks, the camp will feature activities such as mountain climbing, sports events, workshops, lectures, cultural evenings, and family activities. Participants will climb Mount Triglav on August 8. In the Left party, the name Vesna has been removed from the title of the parliamentary group following demands from the party. Vesna accuses the Left of excluding them from decision-making processes and operating independently without coordination. They noted that progressive parties, including the Left, still view electoral results as a means to secure positions and distribute financial resources. The Left reaffirmed its commitment to the agreement made before the elections with Vesna, while also allocating one-third of funds to Vesna. Members of the Freedom Movement have introduced a bill proposing the introduction of a cultural voucher for young people in the National Assembly. During a session of the Committee on Justice, SD MP Andreja Katič claimed that parliamentary investigations could target any citizen, which she argued was a reason for collecting signatures for the referendum. Resni.ca MP Nedeljko Todorović countered this claim, emphasizing that the law explicitly limits parliamentary investigations to holders of public offices. He listed these officials, including the President and Vice Presidents of the Republic, MPs, members of the State Council, the Prime Minister, ministers, state secretaries, mayors, members of municipal councils, judges, prosecutors, constitutional court judges, heads and members of the Court of Auditors, the Governor and members of the Bank of Slovenia Board, and others specified by law as holding public functions. He reiterated that the law does not apply to all citizens and warned against misleading the public. Similar instances of misinformation have occurred previously, where complex legal changes were presented as threats to ordinary citizens, despite the law clearly restricting parliamentary investigations to holders of public functions. Mainstream personalities were included in the campaign to collect signatures, primarily to spread emotional messages rather than inform people about the content of the law. The week saw several notable moments in Slovenian politics. Former communist activists and current politicians were criticized for their approach to the referendum. The former Prime Minister Robert Golob sparked nostalgia by sharing memories of past visits to France. Meanwhile, humor and satire surrounded the end of the relationship between the Left and Vesna, with jokes circulating online. Additionally, a video featuring MP Katja Kokot from Resni.ca gained attention, highlighting both her enthusiasm for certain political developments and subsequent criticism from others.

Gorenjski glasNeovisanProgresivnoČinjenice 85Objektivnost 70jučerDio slovenske opozicije predložio je uklanjanje Zorana Stevanovića, predsjednika Narodne skupštine, navodeći navodna kršenja ustavnog poretka u vezi s parlamentarnim istragama u aferi Black Cube i drugim pitanjima. Prijedlog dolazi unatoč tekućim parlamentarnim pauzama, koji obično sprečavaju redovne sjednice, ali dopuštaju izvanredne.
