Po incidentu s poslovnikom je Mahnič Sukičevi na soočenju namenil nepričakovane besede

During a parliamentary session, Slovenian MP Nataša Sukič of the Left party hurled a parliamentary rulebook at Žan Mahnič, president of the Committee for Internal Affairs and member of the SDS, sparking a heated exchange. Mahnič responded with unexpected remarks during a confrontation, addressing Sukič's behavior and calling for greater respect and decorum in parliamentary proceedings. The incident occurred amid discussions on the rights of foreign workers. Andrej Kosi, an SDS MP, proposed suspending the session due to the government’s failure to submit planned amendments to legislation on foreigners to parliament. Mahnič put the motion to a vote, which was supported by the committee despite opposition from the opposition. Sukič strongly opposed the move, claiming it violated the rules of procedure and amounted to a form of coup against parliament. She accused Mahnič of orchestrating the suspension and stated that such actions constituted a kind of coup. Sukič emphasized that the suspension required the agreement of the proposer, arguing that the process was not followed correctly. She left the session after hurling the rulebook at Mahnič, stating she would no longer participate in what she called a disgraceful situation. Mahnč responded by issuing two formal warnings to Sukič and maintaining that he had not violated the parliamentary rules. He criticized her conduct, noting that other opposition MPs did not face similar issues and that his approach to leading sessions was respected even by members of the Freedom Movement, another opposition group. Mahnč also addressed Sukič’s remark about using all weapons and tools, interpreting it metaphorically but expressing concern over its potential literal interpretation. He noted that he owned firearms as a hunter but would face legal repercussions if he made such statements in parliament. In response to Sukič’s accusations of seizing control of parliament, Mahnč cited past instances where requests to convene sessions were ignored, including several dates in 2023 and 2024. He argued that previous attempts to hold sessions had been thwarted, suggesting that the current situation was not unique. Mahnč attributed nervousness within the opposition to the results of the recent referendum week, where expectations of a 70:30 victory were not met. Instead, the outcome was evenly split, reflecting approximately 50% support for Prime Minister Janez Janša’s government. Sukič criticized Janša’s response to the referendums and alleged that he was the one showing signs of nervousness. Following the incident, Mahnč posted a video of the event on social media, describing Sukič as having serious difficulties managing anger and becoming increasingly aggressive and volatile. He suggested she seek professional help to manage her temper. After the session, President of the National Assembly Zoran Stevanović commented on Sukič’s actions, recognizing them as a violation of public order and peace. He noted that the police already had sufficient evidence from the video recording to proceed with further action.
