"Until now, it has generally been the case that the European Council struggles to deal with more than one leading topic. This time there were several, and the strategic discussion was deepened at least on three topics," said Prime Minister Janez Janša. "It has become very clear that more or less everyone knows where we need to go for energy prices to be lower, and that this will contribute to greater competitiveness for Europe and the European industry. However, it has also shown that it is very difficult to acknowledge past mistakes." "Today we have a situation where the kilowatt-hour of electricity in China is eight cents, in the United States it is 18, and in Europe it is between 28 and 32 cents. Until this is equalized, it is very difficult to talk about Europe achieving competitiveness with some investments," Janša warned. "Before you talk about abandoning old energy sources, you must ensure that you will secure new ones." As one of the key mistakes of past European energy policy, Janša highlighted the attitude towards nuclear energy. Another important topic of the meeting was the enlargement of the European Union, which Janša described as "the strategic offensive response of the European Union to the challenges we face." #EvropskaUnija #Konkurenčnost #Energija (translated)

We have concrete ideas in the field of healthcare and we want a democratic Ljubljana – one that is free-spirited, that does not flirt with authoritarians, that does not copy governance patterns from such regimes, and I think we are on a very good path to get there. Anton Rop accused Janković of not representing an alternative to authoritarian governance models with his actions and connections to Balkan authoritarian politicians, to which Janković replied that Rop has the right to his opinion and that, in the end, it will be the voters who have the final word. #Ljubljana #ŽupanskeVolitve #PolitikaSlovenija (translated)

Christian Marcussen wrote that Afrah Al-Jabouri had posted a video on social media where she pulled Ali's double-edged sword out of a gold-plated sheath. According to him, the video had received 27,484 likes, and Al-Jabouri described herself in it as 313 percent Shia. Marcussen wrote that the number 313 referred both to the number of warriors in the Battle of Badr, which he described as the Muslims' first military victory after a planned caravan attack from Muhammad, and to the 313 individuals who, according to an Islamic belief, were to make up the core of an army when the twelfth imam returned before the Day of Judgment. He wrote that the army was to bring the whole world under Islam. He concluded by saying that Airport Security must regret having fired such a skilled creator of content for social media. #Islam #AfrahAlJabouri #SocialeMedier (translated)
