When the late PM Janez Drnovšek proposed demission of then-defence-minister Janša in 1994 over the Depala Vas Affair, thousands poured to the streets in his support, some sporting pitchforks and shovels. Janša was dismissed from office regardless. Ten years later, in the summer of 2004 he took part in anti-Roma demonstrations (that time around happily seconded by Zmago Jelinčič of SNS) and thus helped uncork a prolonged out-pour of racism and xenophobia which was for years aimed at Slovene Romas, symbolised by eviction of the Strojan family [...] […] Slovenian Spring aside, this would not be the first time Janša tried “street democracy”.

SOCIETY: When looking back on 2006 one cannot ignore the rise of racism and the dissolution of the rule of law, both of which were paintfully manifested during Ambrus crisis. I’ve posted at lenght on this issue, so let it just be said that the matter is far from resolved. For the time being it seems that single-digit temperatures have cooled down the racist rage of the Ambrus population, but when the ice will have thawed time will be up for the government which will want to provide some sort of viable approach to ensuring that Slovenia will become a country of and for all of its people, regardless of ethnicity - which includes the Roma.
