[Video] Branko Grims: Delam točno to, kar sem obljubil svojim volivcem! (Vroča tema, 4. 7. 2026)
The article discusses the potential expulsion of European Parliament member Branko Grims from the European People's Party (EPP), which is part of his political party, the Slovenian Social Democracy (SDS). The EPP has already decided to expel him due to allegations that he did not attend political group meetings, acted against agreed-upon policies within the EPP, signed a no-confidence motion against EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, supported former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s anti-LGBT school law, and aligned with 'far-right' groups in the European Parliament. The final decision on his expulsion will be made by the parliamentary group on Wednesday, during a vote. Grims, known as a defender of absolute freedom of speech, defends his actions in a podcast titled 'Vroča tema,' addressing criticisms over years. He argues that opposition to LGBTQ+ issues is not equivalent to homophobia, and that opposing illegal immigration is not fascism. He also questions the future of the European Union, suggesting it risks losing sovereignty and asks why parties like AFD and the National Council are not considered extreme right. The article highlights the tension between Grim

The European People's Party (EPP), the largest group in the European Parliament, has decided to exclude Slovenian MEP Gregor Grims from its ranks due to violations of work ethics and actions perceived as contrary to right-center and European values. According to sources within the EPP, Grims has consistently acted against the interests of the group rather than supporting its objectives. This decision follows previous sanctions imposed earlier this year after Grims failed to adhere to the group's guidelines during a vote on distrust towards the European Commission. Additionally, he had previously signed a proposal for distrust but later withdrew his support under pressure from the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) and EPP. Grims defended his actions by stating that the conference he attended aimed to promote fundamental Christian values and European civilization. The EPP leadership emphasized that his behavior did not align with the group's directives.

The European People's Party (EPP), the largest political group in the European Parliament, is considering expelling Slovenian MEP Branko Grims (SDS) due to alleged violations of work ethics and his alignment with far-right political groups. According to sources within the European Parliament and confirmed by SDS, the process is underway, with a final decision expected soon. The EPP claims Grims has consistently criticized and undermined the group’s values and does not contribute to its work, participating in only two out of over 100 meetings during his tenure. His participation in a conference with far-right groups like ECR, ESN, and PfE led to criticism from EPP leader Manfred Weber, who stated such collaboration was not aligned with EPP principles. Grims denies the allegations, arguing that cooperation on defending core values is standard practice and rejecting the label of 'extreme right' as inappropriate.

According to sources, Grims has attended only two out of over 100 meetings of the EPP group during his two years as an MEP. He is accused of not contributing to the group's work, criticizing it from outside, and speaking only when cameras are present but not participating in political discussions where positions are formed. The decision to expel him is expected to be finalized by the EPP leadership today and confirmed by the 180-member group through a secret vote next week. This is not the first time EPP has taken action against Grims, who previously supported decisions made by far-right groups within the European Parliament that did not align with EPP's direction.

The European People's Party (EPP), a major group in the European Parliament, has decided to expel MEP Branko Grims from its ranks due to alleged violations of work ethics. The decision stems from Grims' repeated failure to attend internal meetings where he could express his views, while publicly opposing the group’s positions. He has been criticized for aligning with far-right factions within the EPP, supporting policies and parties such as Hungary’s Fidesz and Slovakia’s SNS, which conflict with the EPP’s centrist stance. Grims was previously involved in initiatives and events organized by extreme-right groups and has supported motions against the EU Commission led by far-right politicians. This marks the first time the EPP has expelled an MEP through a vote.

The European Parliament has faced a significant development regarding Branko Grims, a member of the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) and part of the European People's Party (EPP) group.

Branko Grims, član Slovenske demokratične stranke (SDS) in del skupine Evropske ljudske stranke (EPP) v Evropskem parlamentu, se sooča s potencialno izključitvijo iz EPP zaradi domnevnih kršitev etičnih standardov in usklajevanja z skrajno desnimi vrednotami. EPP ga je obtožila, da spodkopava vrednote desnega centra in Evrope, saj se udeležuje dogodkov, ki jih organizirajo skrajno desne skupine, kot je "Evropa suverenih narodov" in podpira politike, ki so v nasprotju z stališčem EPP.

Branko Grims, a member of the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) and European Parliament representative, has responded to reports that he is facing expulsion from the European People's Party (EPP). In a Facebook post, Grims stated that it is not the lack of work that is problematic, but rather the fact that he works extensively and achieves success, which has been acknowledged by influential figures such as Elon Musk. He emphasized his commitment to values like supporting the safety of women and children, advocating for the deportation of illegal migrants, opposing the 'green transition,' reducing taxes, and promoting free speech. According to sources within the European Parliament, Grims is being considered for expulsion due to alleged violations of work ethics, including not attending group meetings and criticizing the EPP from outside. The process is expected to conclude next week, with a formal decision likely to be made by Friday morning.

Evropska ljudska stranka (EPP) naj bi razmišljala o izključitvi Branka Grimse, slovenskega poslanca Evropskega parlamenta iz stranke SDS, zaradi domnevne slabe delovne etike, dejanj proti "desničarskim in evropskim vrednotam" in sočutja do "ekstremnih desničarskih" političnih skupin, ki nasprotujejo EPP. Vodstvo EPP namerava odločiti o njegovi izključitvi danes, medtem ko bo politična skupina EPP o zadevi glasovala prihodnjo sredo v Strasbourgu. Po virih EPP je bil Grimsa sankcioniran v skupini zaradi neskladja z njenimi interesi, kot je podpisanje predloga za nezaupanje zoper Evropsko komisijo, ki ga je predlagal romunski poslanec iz skupine evropskih konzervativcev in reformistov (ECR), čeprav je kasneje pod pritiskom SDS in EPP umaknil podpis. Poleg tega se je Grimsa udeležil konference s predstavniki političnih skupin, označenih kot "ekstremna desničarska". Tom Roman, eden od namestnikov predsednikov EPP, je izrazil obžalovanje nad situacijo in poudaril, da bodo v celotni politični skupini EPP storili vse, da se odločitvi izognejo.
Ocena pristranskosti (Sredina): Članek objektivno predstavlja situacijo, pri čemer navaja vire znotraj EPP in komentarje Romana Tomca. Ne kaže očitno pristranskega jezika ali enostranskega pridobivanja virov.
