Political developments in the Slovenian National Assembly

Overview

The Slovenian National Assembly has experienced internal political developments involving ethical reviews and party departures.

In late September, the Presidency of the National Assembly ruled that SDS deputy Žan Mahnič did not violate the ethical code for deputies. The decision followed proposals by Deputy President Nataša Avšič Bogovič regarding Mahnič’s social media posts, which included calling Constitutional Court judges “fools” and “radical leftists.” The Presidency did not adopt proposed sanctions, such as a public reprimand, and concluded the proceedings without finding a violation.

By mid-October, shifts in party membership occurred as two deputies left their respective groups. Tea Košir announced her departure from the Demokrati party to serve as an independent deputy. Additionally, Boris Mijič resigned from the assembly following his expulsion from the Resnica party, a move prompted by controversies involving his company’s financial liabilities and discrepancies in his reported educational background.
