And the feeling the young and underachieving people get from him: if he got this far and be so almighty, then maybe I can, too. And also the obnoxiousness and arrogance of his performance may appear as a great confidence and knowledge. Palm trees are ok, as long as they grow somewhere more or less naturaly.

I am actually relieved that I don’t have to vote in that city anymore.

It's true that Koper was starting to become a ghost city a few years ago, more and more shops were closed, empty streets in the evenengs, nothing going on, at the beginning maybe Popovič gave an impression of a fresh wind, a bold, brave kid (not to me, I guess a lot of people thought so) I really don't know what mechanisms he's using that people treat him like he's untouchable, maybe some connections in high places, I don't know the lack of opposition in Koper is a mystery to me too, Boris Palčič also rises this question in his article V Kopru je zmagal kič http://obala.net/novice/news.php?id=13779

But palms are no stranger to coastal regions even in Slovenia, no? I mean, not to defenf <I>Popo</I>, but while his opponents lose breath over palms (purely a matter of taste), he goes running Koper like its his own personal turf. Perhaps this reminds you of some other mayor in this country? True… But palms are no stranger to coastal regions even in Slovenia, no?
