Milan Kučan’s dramatic performance in Šentjanž reminded us that we will have to organise ourselves well if we want to get rid of Janez Janša. The battle against him has been going on since the mid-1980s and has dragged on into the new century and millennium, which testifies to the fact that Kučan’s Udba has eased a bit. Diapers and all that.
Milan Kučan has always done well in these conspiracy theories. Already as a high school student, he charged a classmate, who was then expelled but not killed. He resolutely accused his party companion and for a while even his friend Stane Kavčič and apologised to him that he is only looking after his own interests. Then, over time, he perfected himself and, for example, organised that Janez Janša was handed over by his Udba members to the army intelligence service because Kučan did not want to get neither his hands nor his image dirty. But he did not get rid of Janša, so through his judicial Udba network he later managed to find him in an unknown place at an unknown time with strangers corrupting himself internally. The guy, Janša, went to sit in Dob and instead of repenting, he wrote books there. At that time, Kučan was also offended by the Constitutional Court, which annulled Janša’s sentence and he was released again. Then the Constitutional Court was managed in term of staffing.
This is for nowhere, said Milan Kučan, who suddenly could no longer go unannounced to the President (who avoids him like the devil of the cross), nor to the Prime Minister, because he is Janša, and under the new leadership, the RTV public house froze that famous footstool with which Kučan proved to the people on TV that he is a great man, and they put it in the fundus, and some even mention that they threw it in the trash. Kučan has always owned the public house. His Udba diversion is known when there was a presidential confrontation between him and Jože Pučnik, as he ordered what to ask him and said he was a Protestant, and Pučnik rightly said he was an atheist. The cameraman received special stimulation because he pointed the camera under the table during the confrontation, so that it could be seen that Kučan had expensive, modern shoes, and Pučnik had modest shoes. This video was specially published by Mladina, where they were quite famous in terms of informants. One of their secretaries informed about David Tasič that he had a secret military document in his drawer, and the then editor-in-chief Robert Botteri met with an Udba member at Toški čelo to hand over his daily reports.
Udba handbook of disqualifications
This was still quite effective and in line with the Udba manual on how to deal with the internal enemy. That is why, during my candidacy for federal president, Ali Žerdin found a photograph and a text from Pionirski list, some twenty years old, when I was invited as an exemplary student to a reception for the party owner of Tito’s Velenje, Franc Leskovšek Luka. And I wrote that in the morning before I went, I washed and combed, which was suspicious and disqualifying anyway because I was known for going to school unwashed and uncombed. Thus, Mladina indicted me that as a teenager I collaborated with the occupier of Velenje, because I drank juice and ate a sandwich there. That is why I was then defeated by Janez Drnovšek, a hidden collaborator of the secret service.
Therefore, it is not surprising if the neoudba members, for example, brought to the surface a seventeen-year-old recording of a song, saying that we simply cannot have such a constitutional judge as Rok Svetlič. The man was not an author. Saša Zagorc from the Faculty of Law had an excellent cooperation with neoudba. Similar work has been done in the Petan-Vizjak case, and the Udba members still have many secret recordings. Also about Kučan, which will be published 150 years after his death.
According to Kučan’s complaint of Janez Janša in Šentjanž, that he is ruling anti-civilizational and that he must be resisted in all ways, Stevanović is now on the side of Udba, fools, alcoholics and the fifth column, whether we will finally get rid of Janša.
