[…] The list is endless, and the more immerssed in detail we might become, the more inconsitencies we would find. Suffice it to note that if you allow for the date correction, Rupel’s role in the undertakings of the “continuity parties” becomes much more clear - up to the point that he was elected mayor of Ljubljana in 1994 on an LDS ballot, only to leave it prematurely for the highly prestigious post of the Slovene ambassador to the US, and then return as Foreign minister under PM Drnovšek (and - subsequently - Rop) in 2000, after a short lived Bajuk-Janša government was ousted in parliamentary elections. But perhaps the most hillarious part of Rupel’s essay are the finals paragraphs where Rupel more or less echoes the sentiment expressed by his current boss on multiple occasions since the election victory of Danilo Türk: that the big bad media are doing everything in their mighty power to make the upcoming EU presidency a complete disaster and that they are actively conspiring with the opposition in this shameful deed. Rupel goes on, saying that “… other false reports (about discrimination of the Roma people, about violations of the human rights of the “Erased”) have been exposed and corrected.” […]

I stand corrected… It should have read “a higer percentage of the vote” - call it a Freudian slip on my part Thanks for the heads-up, though.

Obviously, in terms of total votes cast Kučan beats every president since.

Peng, is it really a new electoral record though? If memory serves, Kucan always won squarely in the first round of elections against a greater number of candidates, so it’s not really comparable.
But yeay for Turk!!! Needless to say my vote went for him and not just because I find those giant ears of his highly endearing.

Rooting for the victim of the smear campaign… I always said Belgium and Slovenija had a lot in common. In this case, it seems like a valid signal and good news to those who have been questioning Jansa’s political manoeuvrings. I really hope this will bring about some change for the better over there, because I don’t see none down here…
