Sources: 2. Developments: 2. Katja Kokot, a member of the Slovenian parliament representing the Resnica party, has been involved in ongoing disputes with the media and discussions regarding public broadcasting. In July 2026, Kokot posted a provocative photograph on social media as a direct response to what she described as intense and biased coverage by left-leaning outlets. She accused journalists of attempting to shape a negative image of her through selective reporting on her personal life and professional history. By August 2026, Kokot expanded her criticisms to include the financial management of the public broadcaster, Radiotelevizija Slovenija (RTV). She argued against the current funding model, claiming taxpayers are forced to support a broadcaster facing liquidity issues despite significant projected revenues. Additionally, she defended her party’s parliamentary mandates and alleged that certain journalists have provided instructions on how to discredit her political group. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-16: Katja Kokot defends party mandates and criticizes RTV Slovenija funding Slovenian MP Katja Kokot defended her party's mandates and criticized media bias, while also attacking the funding and liquidity crisis of the public broadcaster RTV Slovenija. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/katja-kokot-defends-party-mandates-and-criticizes-rtv-slovenija-funding ### 2026-07-23: Slovenian MP Katja Kokot posts provocative summer photo, attacks left‑leaning media Slovenian MP Katja Kokot posted a summer photo on X on 21 July 2026, accusing left‑leaning media of bias and lack of fresh coverage. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/slovenian-mp-katja-kokot-posts-provocative-summer-photo-attacks-leftleaning-media --- Cite as: Slovenian MP Katja Kokot media and broadcasting disputes.
