Nieuwe regering in Slovenië

Meer en meer begint de samenstelling van de nieuwe regering duidelijk te worden. Er zou een coalitie gevormd worden met de Sociaal-Democraten (SD), Zares en de Democratische Partij van Gepensioneerden in Slovenië (DeSUS). Een regering waarin maar liefst 5 vrouwen zullen zetelen, wat natuurlijk de nodige commentaar heeft uitgelokt. Zo onder meer van Milan Balažic, politiek analist:

Pet žensk v vladi nakazuje pravo smer, to je najbolj ženska vlada doslej. Ker bo izvoljena v kriznem času, bo pomembno, da bo znala pod vodstvom predsednika vlade tudi politično odločati.

Maar ook de andere aangestelde ministers roepen vragen op. Zo is er bijvoorbeeld de volledig onbekende Zlata Ploštajner die de post van Minister zonder portefeuille voor lokaal zelfbestuur zal innemen. Verder is er de ietwat verrassende beslissing om Samuel Žbogar aan te stellen als Minister van Buitenlandse Zaken die bekend staat als een ware pro-Amerikaan.

Voorlopig ziet de regering er als volgt uit:

Eerste minister: Borut Pahor (SD) Minister za finance: Franci Križanič (SDS) Minister za notranje zadeve: Katarina Kresal (LDS) Minister za zunanje zadeve: Samuel Žbogar Minister za obrambo: Ljubica Jelušič (SD) Minister za delo, družino in socialne zadeve: Ivan Svetlik Minister za gospodarstvo: Matej Lahovnik (ZARES) Minister za kmetijstvo, gozdarstvo in prehrano Minister za kulturo: Majda Širca (ZARES) Minister za okolje in prostor: Karl Erjavec (DeSUS) Minister za promet: Patrick Vlačič (SD) Minister za šolstvo in šport: Igor Lukšič (SD) Minister za visoko šolstvo, znanost in tehnologijo: Gregor Golobič (ZARES) Minister za zdravje: Borut Miklavčič (SD) Minister za javno upravo: Irma Pavlinič Krebs (ZARES) Minister za pravosodje: Aleš Zalar (LDS) Minister brez listnice za Slovence v zamejstvu in po svetu: Boštjan Žekš Minister brez listnice za razvoj in evropske zadeve: Mitja Gaspari (SD)

Jaka Terpinc, de redacteur van de Slovenia Times gaf in zijn "Word from the Editor" alvast de volgende commentaar over de centrum-linkse nieuwe regering:

There are roughly two kinds of communists: the reformed and the converted. After the September election, the reformed ones inhabit the now victorious Social Democrats (SD), while the converted ones most likely populate the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) that was kicked out of government by the voters. Both parties also host a share of civilians, i.e. non-ex-communists. The SD wants to be in line with modern European social democracy. The latter expounds similar ideas of equal opportunities spirited with more of national pride and respect for holy tradition. What makes the non-social democratic ex-communists really different is their constant need to prove they have undergone purification from the devilish past. They do it by actively reminding people how much the country suffered under Tito and most importantly, carefully watch over possible remaining communist threats, malicious connections, and imagine all sorts of catchy names for conspiracies. The popular expressions are udbo-mafia (UDBA, the Yugoslav intelligence agency styled on the Soviet KGB, that supposedly still lurks behind every corner), forces from the background (a mysterious, ghastly communist conspiracy, sponsored by wealthy tycoons, whose puppet is the future prime minister Borut Pahor) or Kučan’s clan (Milan Kučan, the last Chairman of the League of Communists of Slovenia and the first democratically elected president of Slovenia, serving two terms in the 1990s, who is supposedly the top man of this conspiracy, the Saruman of Slovenian communism).
