Alarm has been raised over
“foreign interference” in the campaign for Slovenia’s
parliamentary elections scheduled for next Sunday, March 22. At
the urging of the main governing party and several prominent
Slovenian personalities, the president of the National Assembly,
Slovenia’s parliament, Urška Klakočar Zupančič, has proposed
convening a session of the parliamentary commission overseeing
the intelligence services (Knovs) to examine possible attempts
from abroad to influence the election results. The initiative
follows the publication of several recordings and wiretaps
involving officials from the Freedom Movement, the pro-European
center-left party in power in Ljubljana that backs Prime
Minister Robert Golob. Speaker Klakočar Zupančič spoke of an
escalation in efforts to favor the Slovenian far right in the
upcoming vote.
