Mixed Response to Golobic's Decision Not to Resign

Ljubljana/Dolenjske Toplice, 12 June - Heads of Slovenian parties and political institutions responded to Friday's decision of coalition Zares leader Gregor Golobic not to resign over his denial of shareholding in a company. Coalition supports him, while the opposition claims the move brings a collapse of moral standards and strips the government of its credibility.
