An ambivalent relationship of the SD party to Borut Pahor
Statement of the former President of the Republic and Former SD President Borut PahorThat what was happening in Gaza would not be evaluated as genocide, she raised questions about what his status is in the SD party. It turns out to be multifaceted. Some influential officials claim that it has not been in the party’s members for a decade, but at the same time they cannot get past the fact that, according to the Gentleman agreement, it has a frozen status in the party.
“Although we do not deny anyone the rights to personal opinions in or outside the party, at the same time, we do not allow ourselves to affect opinions that are not in accordance with the client’s values, principles and beliefs affect the work of the party or its policy. Specifically, when it comes to Borut Pahor’s statement about Gaza, we have fenced off since his point of view, « the party answered us to several questions that are raised when Pahor’s implementation regarding gauze.
We were also interested in whether Pahor violated the SD statute with his position, whether his views on genocide were contrary to the values of the SD party and contrary to the views of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, led by Tanja Fajon. In addition, if Pahor, who led the SD party for 15 years, in the 2008 elections he led her to victory in the parliamentary elections and thus to lead 9, the Slovenian government, causes damage to the party with his views.
They replied that the SD is « an autonomous political party who, as such autonomously and independently of the opinions of individuals, former or inactive members of the party, gives their views and advocates them in public political and social discourse. »
In Pahor’s circle, they say that the SD party’s attitude towards him is two -faced. When they need it, their member, when they disagree with him, is trying to distancing themselves from him.
However, they did not answer the party to the question whether any member of the SD party or the part of the party had initiated a procedure for Pahor’s exclusion from the party, given that Pahor again provoked a great deal of restlessness in the party with his position on the genocide. So Vice President of the Party Luka Goršek As the leader of the SD parliamentary group Jani ancestor They claim that Pahor is not a party member because he has not been paying a membership fee for over 10 years. The ancestor, however, says that he has not been in the party’s register for at least 10 years. According to him, SD Pahor has symbolically renounced long ago, which, according to him, also show the party’s responses on Pahor’s position on genocide in Gaza.
The informal status of a frozen member
When Pahor became President of the Republic in 2012, he frozen his membership in the party. There was also talk about the extension of the frozen status when he talked to the then party president Tanjo Fajon after the second term at the head of the country. The status of a frozen member is not found in the party’s statute, but it is a gentlemanly agreement between Pahor and the SD party. Finally, frozen status confirmed Tanja Fajonnow also the foreign minister, who, unlike Pahor, claims that he is in Gaza for genocidal acts, so of course he disagrees with Pahor’s grades.
By the way, the son of Borut Pahor Luka Pahorwho is employed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is a former member of the Young SD Forum, believes that genocide is happening in Gaza, which he expressed with a social network publication.
In Pahor’s circle, they say that the SD party’s attitude towards him is two -faced. When they need it, their member, when they disagree with him, is trying to distancing themselves from him. Pahor’s statements, despite the claim that he is not formally not a member of the party, have made considerable restlessness to the SD. The party’s attitude to Pahor and his statements will also be declared tomorrow by the party’s president and the Minister of Economy Matjaz Hanwho has been in a hurry in Germany for the past few days.
