Pensioners, Unions Oppose Sovereign Holding Plan

Ljubljana, 16 July - The government's plan to set up a sovereign holding to manage state assets is encountering stiff opposition from all sides. The latest groups to protest are trade unions and pensioners, who fear that folding the KAD fund into the holding would open the door to political meddling with the pension fund.
