There is no doubt that Golob comes from Janković’s political school, where politics is a means of plundering taxpayers’ money.
No, I will not lose my words on the “messiah” Robert Golob (golob = pigeon). The fact that in 2000, as a young LDS politician, he plotted against Bajuk’s government and its Minister of the Economy, Jože Zagožen, speaks volumes about him. He later became a close associate of Ljubljana Mayor Zoran Janković when “famous Slovenes” came to him on their knees to ask him to get involved in state politics. Apparently, the instant politician learned a lot from the energy “dovecote” from “Zoki”, where he was vice-president of Positive Slovenia for some time, and then transferred to the camp of Alenka Bratušek. Well, he will probably not reach Jani Möderndorfer’s record in transfers from party to party for a long time, but the scandals and the way he works are obviously another example from the Byzantine law school, where the first rule is that the rules are to be broken. Which obviously does not bother those who would like to take a risk with something “fresh” in politics (even if it is stagnant water). Just as they are not bothered by the many skeletons that have been falling rapidly from Golob’s closets lately.
Of course, Golob is not the only bird acquaintance from the political underworld. Many people were almost shocked when Marta Kos (kos
= blackbird) recently appeared as a representative of Golob’s “freedom” party, who resigned from the position of Slovenian ambassador to Switzerland in the summer of 2020, shortly after the Janša government took office. She resigned due to the Foreign Ministry’s extraordinary inspection of the embassy. Well, at the time, in an interview with Dnevnik, she claimed that she was no longer interested in politics, although in 2008 she published a full-page advertisement in Dnevnik, with which she overthrew the then first Janša government. Therefore, we could have expected that the “promised” bread would happen to Marta. Also because of Golob’s house television Pop TV, where Martin’s sister-in-law Tjaša Slokar Kos, the wife of the chief operative of the deep state, former criminalist Drago Kos, has the main say. It is now all in the hands of the electorate – whether they will continue to fall prey to the proven cadres of the predatory transition elite who pumped taxpayer money into their pockets during the time of the left-wing transition governments. Or they will show confidence in those who have proven that it is possible to work differently over the last two years.
