The Left and Vesna oppose the introduction of a memorial day for victims of communist violence

Left-wing parties Levica and Vesna have proposed amendments to the law on concealed war graves and burial of victims, aiming to remove the clause that designates May 17th as the National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Communist Violence. They argue that the introduction of this memorial day was done without broader public or expert discussion and view it as an ideological project of the right. The proposal is expected to gain support from the Resni.ca party.

G. C.

Poslanci Levice in Vesne so danes v DZ vložili predlog sprememb zakona o prikritih vojnih grobiščih in pokopu žrtev, s katerim bi v zakonu črtali člen, ki 17. maj razglaša za nacionalni dan spomina na žrtve komunističnega nasilja.

" Novela zakona o prikritih vojnih grobiščih in pokopu žrtev, ki uvaja omenjeni spominski dan, je bila sprejeta brez širše javne in strokovne razprave ," je na novinarski konferenci dejala sokoordinatorica Levice in vodja poslanske skupine Levica in Vesna Asta Vrečko . Po njenem prepričanju namen koalicije in nove vlade ni sprava, ampak poglabljanje delitev in razlik v družbi. To bi se sprožilo vsako leto ob tem prazniku, je posvarila. Uvedeni spominski dan vidi kot " ideološki projekt desnice ".

Po njenih besedah ni država tista, ki mora interpretirati zgodovino, ampak je to naloga pristojnih institucij, fakultet in muzejev.

Pričakuje, da bo predlog v DZ-ju podprla tudi Resni.ca. Tako vodja te poslanske skupine Katja Kokot kot tudi predsednik Resni.ce Zoran Stevanović sta namreč ob sprejemanju novele zakona o prikritih vojnih grobiščih izrazila mnenje, da ta praznik ni potreben, je spomnila. " Resnica ima zdaj možnost, da stoji za svojimi besedami ," je dodala.

Prav tako se bodo glede možne podpore pogovorili s Svobodo in SD-jem. V Levici pričakujejo, da bodo predlog podprli.

Novela sprejeta 26. maja

DZ je novelo zakona o prikritih vojnih grobiščih in pokopu žrtev sprejel 26. maja s 50 glasovi za in 32 glasovi proti. Pripravili so jo v koaliciji SDS-a, Demokratov ter trojčka NSi, SLS in Fokus. Nacionalni dan spomina na žrtve komunističnega nasilja je bil razglašen že maja 2022 v času takratne vlade Janeza Janše , a je bil leto pozneje v času vlade Roberta Goloba ukinjen.

Sprejeta novela pa določa tudi, da bodo posmrtni ostanki iz prikritih grobišč pietetno in trajno pokopani na pokopališču Žale v Ljubljani, pri čemer bi imelo to območje pokopališča status kulturnega spomenika državnega pomena. Ljubljanski župan Zoran Janković je napovedal, da bodo s pravnimi službami preučili možnosti preprečitve pokopa. Meni, da si žrtve zaslužijo pokop, vendar ne na Žalah, kjer ni dovolj prostora.

The Left and Vesna oppose the introduction of a memorial day for victims of communist violence

Left-wing parties Levica and Vesna have proposed amendments to the law on concealed war graves and burial of victims, aiming to remove the clause that designates May 17th as the National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Communist Violence. They argue that the introduction of this memorial day was done without broader public or expert discussion and view it as an ideological project of the right. The proposal is expected to gain support from the Resni.ca party.

Bias read (Left): The article frames the removal of a memorial day associated with communist violence as a progressive move by Left and Vesna, criticizing it as an 'ideological project of the right.' It emphasizes the opposition to the commemoration and presents the Left's stance as seeking to deepen societal divides
