President of the Republic Nataša Pirc Musar She is intended to express the desire that this personnel question, in addition to two unresolved – appointment of the Ombudsman and the Governor of the Bank of Slovenia, would also be closed by summer, so she had already consulted with the leaders of the deputy groups on the subject.

As she revealed in an interview for Saturday’s attachmentIt seems important to her that they will also take into account sexual representation in the search for constitutional judges, since at the end of the term of office, the Constitutional Court Judge Špelce Mežnar will only two more women in the Constitutional Court, consisting of nine constitutional judges. In addition, professionalism and worldview focus is crucial, with the president considering that the constitutional judges are legally conservative. Otherwise, they are supposed to make a consultation.

At Friday’s meeting with the bosses of the deputy groups, she also informed the leaders of coalition parliamentary groups of a new possible candidate for the Bank of Slovenia. This is an economics doctor Simon Savšek, which currently runs a representative office of the European Investment Bank in Slovenia. The parliamentary groups do not want to say that they will meet him first. But at least they formally claim that they are ready to offer good candidates. « Given that it is evident that the President of the Republic will not propose Sasha Jazbec, we will have to find a new candidate as a coalition, » comments Jani ancestor, The leader of the Social Democrats, who himself could not yet say whether Savšek would be this candidate. Similarly, the leader of the Left Members Matej T. Vatovec: « We have found ourselves in a dead corner and it is time for the coalition to think about a candidate or candidate who is not Sasha Jazbec. »

If they insisted uncompromisingly at Secretary of State Sasha Jazbec, Jim, the President of the Republic has already burned that the appointment would continue with the second convocation of the National Assembly.

Somewhat clenched teeth have already supported its possibility of proposing to the Ombudsman for the Ombudsman Diana Mozina Zupanc, One of the current Ombudsman’s deputies. Despite the additional coordination with the opposition, it all shows that the candidate does not have 60 parliamentary votes in advance, so the President of the Republic will have to decide whether to propose and risk the National Assembly or whether she will have to find a new candidate.
