Aleš Hojs remains interior minister not only after surviving a motion of no-confidence in parliament on Saturday but also after today’s meeting with PM Janez Janša. He told the STA that Janša had returned him the envelope with his resignation, which he tendered in late June after four opposition parties filed a motion to dismiss him.
Back then he indicated he resigned because the police was serving the deep state in an investigation into ventilator procurement related to Covid-19. Janša and Hojs also discussed further coalition commitments that are yet to be implemented. Hojs said changes to the foreigners act, the international protection act and the police organisation and work act were ready. Another attempt is planned to give soldiers some police powers in protecting the border against illegal migrants.
