Let's be critical and optimistic like Cankar, Pahor says

Vrhnika, 11 December - Despite being critical, Ivan Cankar was an optimist who believed that writing about human and social weaknesses would lead to their elimination, President Borut Pahor said in his keynote address to the main national ceremony marking the anniversary of the author's death in his birth town of Vrhnika last evening.
