Merit Wager wrote that Finland's Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen had said that Finland should not accept traditions, cultures, or customs that limited girls' freedom. According to the Swedish translation that Wager shared, Valtonen believed that girls and women should be able to decide over their own lives, and that religious or cultural norms should not be used to restrict their freedom. Wager also recounted Valtonen's statement that the National Coalition Party wanted to ban face-covering garments, such as the burqa and niqab, in schools and other educational institutions. Valtonen had said that the government led by the National Coalition Party had strengthened the rights of girls and women by more clearly criminalizing forced marriages and female genital mutilation. She had described female genital mutilation as violence and said that every girl had the right to bodily integrity. According to Wager's account, Valtonen also emphasized that equality, individual freedom, and human rights should not be overridden by references to religion, culture, or tradition. Every girl should have the right to be seen, heard, dream, and shape her future based on her own desires, she had said. #Jämställdhet #MänskligaRättigheter #KvinnorsRättigheter (translated)

Sofie Löwenmark described the report as important and well-made and wrote that it addressed more consequences of legal gender changes in prisons. According to her, it was about, among other things, the safety of female inmates, the work environment for staff, searches and urine tests, as well as the fear of touching that could arise when women's privacy was set against legal gender. #jämställdhet #juridik #fängelse (translated)

Dr. Nina Kojima wrote that it was justified to express dissatisfaction and distrust towards the political direction of RTV Slovenia and to call for a fundamental reform of the public service. She expected the government to implement the reform differently than former Prime Minister Golob, who had announced a "cleaning of RTV Janšism." She added that she was the first on the list herself. Kojima accused former Minister of Culture Asta Vrečko of not protecting her, even though, according to her, RTV Slovenia fell under the jurisdiction of the ministry. She wrote that Vrečko, based on the information she had, was looking forward to the list of those who were laid off. She claimed that they were politically removed, sidelined, and harmed, also describing the insulting attitude towards them. She emphasized that the abolition of the RTV fee would not in itself mean the reform for which, in her view, strategy, effort, and determination were needed. According to her, Slovenia needs a national media that serves the public, reports according to fundamental journalistic principles, and prioritizes facts over comments from ideological speakers. Kojima also wrote that she had lived and grown up with RTV for at least four decades and that the employees were mostly creative, hardworking, and decent intellectuals. Before the referendum, she urged people to consider the consequences of past layoffs for individuals, children, and families. She expressed a wish that she and her family would be among the few affected, and that her former colleagues and their families would not have to endure similar experiences. In conclusion, she called for a public service and government that would act virtuous and not vindictively. #Slovenija #RTV #javniservis (translated)

Bojan Požar stated in an interview with Nova24TV that he joined the Institute for the Protection of Victims of the Parliamentary Inquiry 2022-26 as a co-founder because he wanted to more effectively highlight alleged abuses. He mentioned Tamara Vonta, Vesna Vuković, and Tomaž Modic as responsible individuals and said that Robert Golob gave the green light for their actions. He rejected the accusation that the institute is politically or right-leaning. He cited their diversity as evidence that the founders come from different political backgrounds. Požar mentioned that he appeared before the commission as a witness, while the company he leads was being investigated. He claimed that more than 90 percent of the questions during the several-hour hearing did not pertain to the topic of the commission and that he was accused of having published too many articles about Golob as a journalist. According to him, the articles were printed and placed before Vonta. He alleged that Vonta, despite reviewing the bank accounts of him and his company, which the commission allegedly accessed illegally, requested his hearing. Požar described this as a planned attempt at personal, journalistic, and business discreditation. He also mentioned that the institute filed a complaint against Vonta and that he expects sanctions against her and the leadership of the parliamentary inquiry. #žurnalizem #politika #parlament (translated)

Jože Možina wrote that he refused to grant clemency to Rosvita Pesek and expected professional responsibility from her. He claimed that RTV Slovenia did not report impartially during the four years of litigation in the dispute between him and Svetlana Makarovič, and that the segment in the show Odmevi omitted his key arguments and recorded statement. Možina stated that the public was presented with a distorted image of the reasons for his lawsuit, as specific insults that are the subject of the dispute were not mentioned, in his words. He added that the events were accurately reported by other media, including POP TV, Siol, Domovina, Planet TV, Info360, Nova24, N1, Slovenske novice, and Delo. He also referred to the position of the Association of Journalists and Publicists. He criticized the response of the host of Odmevi, Rosvita Pesek, and editor of the show, Aleš Malerič, and assessed that a correction and an apology would be appropriate. He emphasized that he is seeking judicial protection to defend his good name, the freedom of the journalistic profession, and the culture of communication. #Novinarstvo #Mediji #Slovenija (translated)
