Well, if you haven’t heard yet, our (Slovenian) prime minister was accused that he took bribes for the deal with the Finnish Partia, when we bought (and are still buying) armored vehicles from this Finnish (partially government owned) firm.
I’m really sorry for what the Slovenian politics are doing right now. I’m sorry for us trying to use diplomacy to get your government to push the Broadcasting channel to change its perspective. Yes, this is how they try to do it in Slovenia, but we do not want them to do it and we do not want others to do it.
I’m sorry for the words of a couple of Slovenian politicians, who said that a Slovenian party is controlling your police, your courts and your national TV channel. We do not believe that and they are just too stupid to know that this is not possible. Saying “The Slovenian socialists are together with the Finnish in the EP group” is not an argument that we own you…
I’m also sorry that they try to say that your journalists sux so much that they would make up a story and show it only to destroy the Slovenian election process. I know you do not care about it, and I feel totally ok with it.
I’m sorry that we tried to show your journalists as bad, just because they have shown something that our PM and his little helpers do not like. But they just do not know how to do it in a polite manner. Saying he is bad and he is a Communist is just a way how they deal with people that do not agree with that.
I’m also sorry that we are probably going to insult more of your people, whoever is going to speak on behalf of this story. This is the lowest point that the Slovenian politics has reached, and I hope that someone here will try to get some sense in this story and make us look like a developed state again. BTW here are some links to international journals that write about it:
Helsinki Times
Der Standard
