Interior Minister Aleš Hojs is convinced that the order of the director of the police to conduct an internal investigation among Ljubljana police officers is completely in place. He also watched the footage on social media, but at the moment he does not want to judge what exactly had happened, but will rather wait for the results of the investigation. “Things need to be properly investigated, monitored, and looked at what the conclusions are,” he explained. Throughout Friday’s events, however, Hojs is fully convinced that these are pointless provocations, and their whistles and protests do not convince anyone.

At Friday’s unannounced rally on Prešeren Square, where Friday’s protesters prepared their so-called national celebration, in addition to cyclists led by Jaša Jenull, yellow jackets gathered around the statue of France Prešeren, but were removed by the police. After a stormy response from the public, the director general of the police, Dr Anton Olaj looked at the footage of Friday’s event and found that certain discrepancies were happening.

“Based on Saturday’s report of the Ljubljana Police Department and the subsequent amendment of this report and the viewing of video accessible material from the social network, it is possible to determine the inconsistency and difference of interpretations of the same event regarding police action,” Olaj explained. Due to the established discrepancies and witness statements at the event, an investigation into the work of the police in the Ljubljana Police Department will be ordered this week. Let us remind you that on Friday, the celebration of the Statehood Day took place on the Republic Square, and on the other hand, the usual rally of Jaša Jenull took place on Prešeren Square.

The yellow jackets were also on Prešeren Square and were described by cyclists as neo-Nazis. Police removed them at the urging of Jaša Jenull, as evidenced by the footage. The police allegedly treated them differently than Jenull’s followers. Namely, the yellow jackets accuse the men of the law of violating their rights and exceeding the use of coercive means.

Interior Minister Hoys is convinced that the investigation is justified

The Minister of the Interior, Aleš Hojs, estimates that the control over the work of the police is justified, especially because of what we have been able to see on social networks and the Internet with police’s interventions. “Of course, I cannot claim anything before the end of this police check, but it is necessary to find out, and that is the easiest with an investigation,” he explained. He thinks Jenull’s Friday call was unacceptable and notes that it is an obvious agenda of leftists in the sense of “if you do not have things under control, we will take matters into our own hands”.

He sees the biggest problem in whether the police really responded to Jenull’s call, although he himself does not believe it. “According to all the information I have, this is not the case. Police began reacting before his call. His call afterwards was some ‘building’ of himself,” he said. Hojs also believes that the yellow jackets came to Prešeren Square unnecessarily, but if they were there and the police justifiably removed them from that place, they later detained them for a few more hours and even interrogated them. “Things need to be properly investigated, monitored and look at the conclusions.”

With a crowd of a few thousand people against 13 other people, there could be violence, as the crowd could be violent to the yellow jackets. “Like I said, I find it a shame that these guys came there because they could show their values elsewhere as well,” he said. As he observes, their arrival seemed like a kind of provocation, which was also the arrival of the first president of our country, Milan Kučan, with a sign of cyclists at the national celebration. “Mr. Kučan was not removed by anyone, as the police did with the yellow jackets, while Kučan himself admitted that he was at the celebration as a representative of the cyclists.”

The left also had celebrations with a fence

Hojs goes on to deny allegations that the celebration was fenced off only this year, but that representatives of the left also celebrated with a fence. “What they are saying is actually a simple bluff,” he explained. It should also be mentioned that Jenull’s group moved from Prešeren Square to the Republic Square, where the police successfully intervened by guarding the public event. “They wanted to somehow disrupt the celebration, break it up and destroy it,” he described the purpose of Jenull’s group. He is convinced that no one buys their ideas when, during a speech by the Prime Minister and a minute of silence and the rest of the whistle, he shouts and behaves inappropriately. “They shot themselves in the foot.”

With such actions, the left shows very well how they would govern if they were in power, and a violent takeover of power is not foreign to them. “Remember, the protests did not start yesterday and they started by insulting the SMC, DeSUS and all those who believed in integration and joined the integration coalition before last March, when that coalition was actually formed,” Hojs was still critical at the end.
