Aleš Štrancar wrote that, in his opinion, referendums are currently over, and he labeled Niko Kovać as an extreme leftist activist, accusing her of foreign funding. He described this as foreign actors intervening in Slovenia's internal affairs. He questioned why the Intelligence and Security Agency (SOVA) and the police are not responding to this, and hinted that Kovać and Romana Tomić have the same patron in the European Parliament. He accused SDS, NSi, and SLS of advocating one thing in Slovenia while behaving differently in Brussels. He presented the referendums as a smokescreen behind which the extreme left and right are making deals at the expense of Slovenia's sovereignty. https://t.co/XvVvYK6P1f #Slovenija #referendumi #politika (translated)

Open Starlink to Ukraine. You opened it when you responded to Iran. I said it quite openly, give it to us, help us defend and dominate our skies. And then Putin will sit at the negotiating table," Zelensky said. "And where is the truth here, where is the honesty? Where is the stalemate? This is called a lack of will," he said, referring to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's statement earlier on Thursday that the war was at a standstill and that the U.S. would continue to work towards finding a solution. "You cannot, on one hand, negotiate with the Russians on future economic projects, and on the other hand say that we have found ourselves in a certain diplomatic deadlock," Zelensky said. #Ukrajina #RatUKrajini #VolodimirZelenski (translated)

Bojan Požar wrote that the left and the civil society sympathetic to it should distance themselves from the Freedom Party MP Tamara Vonta in the days leading up to the referendum on the "political police." He cited her leadership of the investigative commission, which he described as excessive, and alleged illegalities and abuses within the commission as reasons. He added that Vonta was noticeably absent from the pre-referendum debate on RTV Slovenia last Thursday and that she had been removed from the mainstream media, while she received an interview in Reporter. He claimed that Reporter was richly funded by Golob's government and that those amounts were now coming to light, and accused Vonta of lying in her statements about him. In conclusion, he wrote that he would be ashamed to be in her position. #Slovenija #politika #referendum (translated)
