Among Tuesday’s protesters in Maribor was also professor of law, dr. Rok Lampe. He was a MP candidate on the list of Janković’s Positive Slovenia.
On Tuesday, on the basis of Article 39 of the Infectious Diseases Act, a measure came into force restricting night movement between 9pm and 6am, mainly to prevent evening socialisation, which has increased the rate of COVID-19 infections. Nevertheless, on the day of the measure’s implementation, a small group of people gathered in Maribor to defy the COVID-19 measures. Fortunately, fewer gathered the next day, on Wednesday, as more and more people have realised that endangering health and opposing measures is not wise.
He tried politics in Janković’s PS
Among Tuesday’s protesters, POP TV cameras caught law professor dr. Rok Lampe, one of the main opponents of measures including the measure of mandatory wearing of protective masks. A health inspector fined him 1,200 euros, and Lampe said he would legally challenge the fine and the measures. However, Lampe is not only a professor of law, he also tried to become a politician in the 2011 parliamentary elections, when he ran for MP in Janković’s Positive Slovenia, but was not elected. Recently he filled the front pages when he wrote and filed a constitutional appeal against the Supreme Court ruling against Home Guard General Leon Rupnik.
It is also very interesting how a law professor sees the former communist processes after World War II. He is of the opinion that these can be compared to the Nuremberg trial against the Nazis and that the same legal standards were respected in both. It is indeed unusual for a legal expert to compare the then post-war judiciary of the military junta, where human rights were massively violated, to the highest standards of trial in the Nuremberg trials against the Nazis. His Facebook profile shows that the love of partisanship is stronger than his love of law.
