Soon after that Laško (being now the sole owner of Delo) replaces Janša’s Board members at Delo and replaces them with its own people, naming Andrijana Starina Kosem president of the supervisory board. In the mean time Zoran Janković got elected as mayor of Ljubljana and is fast becoming a politial force to be reckoned with. Matjaž Gantar didn’t get the bank that was promised to him and quit SECO and joined LDS’s team of economic experts and Igor Bavčar and Janša became foes at least for the time being as Istrabenz sold it’s Mercator shares, enabling Laško to control the company and by extention own Delo completely. Shortly before that, in an attempt at keeping his job, Danilo Slivnik, CEO of Delo (an ardent Janša supporter whose assuming the position was part of the deal) fired the criminally incompetent Editor-in-Chief Peter Jančič and replaced him with Janez Markeš, Editor-in-Chief of a centre-right magazine Mag (acquired by Delo some years ago via political pressure as well). But of course Slivnik did not keep his job and Delo as a whole embarked on a path much more critical to the government than before - one must note that after the August 2005 deal Delo was purged of its more popular journalists and became very pro-government. Politicaly, this thing culminated for the first time with the vote of confidence to Janša’s government, which the PM abused for a massive reckoning with the media. But it did not end there… In the dwindling days of 2007 Boško Šrot (who turned out to be a member of Pahor’s Social Democrats but left the party soon after the disclosure) gave an interview to his Delo, where he blatantly attacked the Prime Minister of meddling with the media but claimed that it was Zoran Janković who wanted to deal with Janša in the first place and that he (Šrot) was defending himself anyway he could. Zoran Janković replied early in 2008 (Tuesday last) and said that Boško Šrot is a liar and that he (Janković) never offered to deal with Janša.

The show we have had the dubious pleasure of seeing, however, bordeded on the inexplicable. What we have seen was the good old paranoid Janez Janša, who basically acused everyone who did not toe the line (his line) of high treason. Janša analysing an issue of Delo newspaper (photo: RTVSLO) His speech lasted for the better part of two hours. One would expect that - given all the supposed economic successes of this government - Janša would go on and on about it like an Energizer bunny. Instead he just leafed through it, showed a couple of powerpoint graphs and (among other things) claimed that higher birthrate in this country is a direct result of his government’s policies. Riiiight….. It had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that baby boomers are simply having kids… [...] […] The government of Janez Janša as expected survived yesterday’s vote of confidence.

As you are writing this blog in English and criticizing JJ's work (totally unfounded) you are in part responsible for political crisis we have here in Slovenia. Bad Pengovsky, bad! :lol: Pengovsky as it now stands, the only reason JJ is demanding a vote of confidence in parliament is the fact that his government is being smeared abroad.

No wonder the man doesn't have time to do his laundry.

Dear coleague, I'll take you up on your word! You're getting your dr. title back along with the next post in the Belgium series :twisted: No worries... if JJ goes into music, your pals will have plenty of fresh inspiration. As you once pointed out ever so perceptively, it's the hard times (suffering, self-pity etc.?) that keeps them going :mrgreen: YEAH! Dear coleague, I’ll take you up on your word!

Still, I always used to think Ozzy Osbourne was the Prince of F*ckin' Darkness? I worry for the future of rock music if JJ ever leaves parliament. At the very least he proved he can whine like a spoilt rock star. Talk about Twilight Zone... :mrgreen: What I like about this, is that politics are being performed at an even more personal level than over here (yes dear colleague, I will get to the finish of my series in due time ;)).
