The Constitutional Court has ruled that the decision of the previous coalition regarding winter reimbursements was unconstitutional, but corrections cannot be made, which has raised additional questions about the legality of pre-election practices and the actions of public officials. #predvolilnezlorabe #ustavnosodstvo #javniprevozi (translated)
Žiga Turk expressed outrage at the decision of the Constitutional Court, which he understood as a further distancing of Slovenia from capitalism and a free market economy. He stated that the court assessed that the interference with the contractual freedom of employers is justified by the public interest related to the protection of workers and the improvement of their social position. Turk argued that the court, in its assessment of mandatory Christmas bonuses, compared the benefits to employees with an abstract limitation of contractual freedom of employers, without also considering whether the money would benefit companies for further investments. He estimated that the decision undermines the trust of domestic and foreign investors in the safety of property in Slovenia, as in his opinion, politically appointed judges could decide who should receive the money. #Slovenija #kapitalizem #gospodarstvo (translated)
Bojan Požar published a message from an anonymous group of employees at UKC Ljubljana, which pointed out alleged psychological abuse and bullying at the Neurology Clinic, as well as threats to patient safety. Employees claimed that internal procedures following reports of bullying usually did not find violations, although a court is said to have confirmed with a final ruling that bullying was perpetrated by a person who later became the head of the clinical department. UKC Ljubljana is supposed to have paid compensation to the former employee from public funds. The group also mentioned alleged irregularities in evaluating work performance and assigning paid training and covering study costs. They claimed that some employees were treated more favorably than others in rewards and training. The most serious warning concerned the death of a patient. According to the employees, the patient was neither connected to a monitor nor given enhanced supervision, although she would have needed it given her condition. They noted that the incident occurred about two months prior, and management allegedly did not report it as an internal deviation or a warning dangerous event. A safety meeting was said to have been convened only in the week the message was published, after the employee reported the incident anonymously. Employees also claimed that access to information at the clinic is limited and called for action from the new management of UKC Ljubljana. #Zdravstvo #Mobing #VarnostPacientov (translated)

Ciril noted that the group he derogatorily referred to as Kučan's mafia failed to appoint another of its loyal candidates to the Supreme Court. He believed that a person with a controversial reputation should not become a Supreme Court judge, while attributing a statement to Andreja Katič, a member of the SD party, claiming that it is about undermining the foundations of democracy. He added that such a reaction is typical of the left and accused the candidate of violating human rights. He questioned how many controversial people are already on the Supreme Court and also criticized the composition of the Constitutional Court. #demokracija #sodstvo #Slovenija (translated)
Sara Stepanjan wrote to Bojan Požar that the senate of the Supreme Court met on Friday evening, and noted that the court members often meet. She reminded that in 1984, according to her record, nine innocent musicians, including her father, were sentenced based on a 132-page fictional verdict. The court was supposed to stop the procedure on December 31, 2002, and her father died on January 19, 2003. She left it to the readers to judge whether it was a coincidence and noted that such behavior would continue until there is a reform of the judiciary and the prosecution. #sodstvo #reforma #slovenija (translated)
