The one person who did not get fazed by any of this was Katja Kokot. The leader of Resnica parliamentary group and Muddy Hollows’ answer to Marjorie Taylor Greene would not stand out in any random sample of MAGA loyalists. And that includes pushing pseudo-scientific ideas nuttier than a port-a-potty at a peanut festival. #slovenia

First it was the seat-belt revelation. Then NPM’s office wouldn’t share the names of the people travelling with her. Then it was the Russian citizenship. Then it was the travelling costs. All of this was quite literally the case of a cover up being worse than the crime. Even though there was no crime to speak of in the first place. #slovenia
Logar, Vrtovec and Muscles from Kranjssels (sorry :))) of course knew they were being less than honest in their argumentation. They also knew that unlike Golob, who started his term with five victories at the ballot box inside of six months, they would get their asses handed to them if it came to a referendum challenge. Which is why they tried to do an end run around that.
Ljubljana mayor Zoran Janković is about to enter the wildest four months of his political career. A parking ordnance blunder and a former PM may have something to with it #ljubljana #slovenia https://www.pengovsky.com/2026/07/10/will-zoran-jankovic-finally-meet-his-match/
In a proof that old habits die hard, Miha Jazbinšek remained convinced that paper is a rare commodity, even in the digital age. To wit, he regularly sent out Word documents with margins extended all the way into the bleeding edge of the page, often making them impossible to print out. Because you know, we gotta conserve paper. #inmemoriram https://www.pengovsky.com/2026/07/08/miha-jazbinsek-1941-2026/
Na #LDGD season finale so vplivali fuzbalerji BiH. Na zmagovalca #politbizarka leta pa volivke in volivci. Tako tisti, ki ste glasovali za bizarko kot tisti, ki so vse skupaj zakuhali. Plus Gizmo, decentralizacija in referendumi - nacionalni in lokalni. In en hiter in memoriam Miha Jazbinšek. Tole še poslušamo pa gremo 😆/cc @dc43

Last but definitely not least, here is part four of the Janša government 4.0 explainer. Featuring the trio of remaining ministers, the duo of Resnica rampagers in the parly and the uno of Police Academy. Because of course 😆

No, to. Zato pravim da bi se trumpu morali samo konstantno režat v faco. Dokler ne implodira.

Janša 4.0, part 3. Not just about Franci Matoz, though Janša appointing his ̶c̶o̶n̶s̶i̶g̶l̶i̶e̶r̶e̶ personal lawyer as minister of interior probably deserves a standalone blogpost. https://www.pengovsky.com/2026/06/28/whos-who-in-jansa-4-0-part-three/

Part 2 of the Janša government explainer. Not because you need it but because you deserve it. Or something. Featuring JCK, yet another health minister, the wannabe rebel and everyone's second-favourite creationist.

The 4th Janša gov't is nary a month old and already they've moved into some really heavy shit. But before we do anything else we should get to know the people pretending to call the shots in ver 4.0 of the administration of the Glorious Leader. #slovenia https://www.pengovsky.com/2026/06/21/whos-who-in-jansa-4-0-part-one/
In da ne bo potem #nivedela: Glasovanje za #politbizarka leta je odprto, konkurenca pa brutalna. In vendar v strokovni žiriji #LDGD vlada visoka stopnja konsenza. A kaj poreče cenjeni publikum? Izjasnite se 👇

"Ne bom ti povedal, da je na koncu past", je rekel Poldi. "Prav, Poldi, saj mi ni treba", je dejal Hrabri Mišek, ko sta v zastoju na Kozarjah poslušala #LDGD S08E29 o korupciji, županskih kandidatih, predsedniških kandidatkah in tujcih z volilno pravico. https://metinalista.si/ldgd-215-ne-bom-ti-povedal-da-je-na-koncu-past/
I've just been disenfranchised* by the populist far right. And how is your day going?
*) With respect to local elections in Slovenia, where foreign residents have enjoyed voting rights for a quarter-century, as EU citizens will continue to do.
I'm a fairly privileged middle-aged straight white male, so I'm new to this kind of thing.
Bolje pozno kot še pozneje. Glasovanje za #politbizarka v S08E28, preden je Stevo dokončno diskvalificiran. /cc @Pliskavka
#LDGD S08E27 razpreda o testiranju na mamile, drugi najslabši službi v Ivanovi vladi in opoziciji, ki si bo očitno morala izboriti prostor pod parlamentarnim soncem. Also, po tokratni rundi bo Stevo diskvalificiran iz #politbizarka. In še: Interracial Cuck Porn Theory Of Everything. Ni, da ni. 🤩 / @dc43
