Dr. Nina Kojima wrote that it was justified to express dissatisfaction and distrust towards the political direction of RTV Slovenia and to call for a fundamental reform of the public service. She expected the government to implement the reform differently than former Prime Minister Golob, who had announced a "cleaning of RTV Janšism." She added that she was the first on the list herself. Kojima accused former Minister of Culture Asta Vrečko of not protecting her, even though, according to her, RTV Slovenia fell under the jurisdiction of the ministry. She wrote that Vrečko, based on the information she had, was looking forward to the list of those who were laid off. She claimed that they were politically removed, sidelined, and harmed, also describing the insulting attitude towards them. She emphasized that the abolition of the RTV fee would not in itself mean the reform for which, in her view, strategy, effort, and determination were needed. According to her, Slovenia needs a national media that serves the public, reports according to fundamental journalistic principles, and prioritizes facts over comments from ideological speakers. Kojima also wrote that she had lived and grown up with RTV for at least four decades and that the employees were mostly creative, hardworking, and decent intellectuals. Before the referendum, she urged people to consider the consequences of past layoffs for individuals, children, and families. She expressed a wish that she and her family would be among the few affected, and that her former colleagues and their families would not have to endure similar experiences. In conclusion, she called for a public service and government that would act virtuous and not vindictively. #Slovenija #RTV #javniservis (translated)
