Responding to a tweet by Social Democrat (SD) leader Tanja Fajon about the importance of solidarity in relation to the new EU migration pact, PM Janez Janša tweeted that those “in Slovenia or the EU” who think they can force others into accepting migrants should first accommodate “at least two” in their own house or villa.
This was his first response to the pact proposal, presented on Wednesday and introducing the notion of flexible but mandatory solidarity. Interior Minister Aleš Hojs wrote that Slovenia “is adopting stricter asylum legislation and legislation about foreigners, which is why the solutions presented by the EU are still far from the desired compromise”.
