Interior minister faces ousting over controversial concert approval

Ljubljana, 8 June - The opposition Social Democrats (SD) are drafting a motion of no confidence in Interior Minister Aleš Hojs over the ministry's recent overturn of a ban of a concert by a Croatian singer glorifying the fascist Ustasha regime. Three other parties have declared support, while Hojs says the attempt is an ideological smear campaign.
