Care homes in focus as MPs debate Cigler Kralj ouster motion

Ljubljana, 18 March - The outbreak of Covid-19 in care homes is front-and-centre as the National Assembly is debating on Thursday a motion of no-confidence in Janez Cigler Kralj, the minister of labour, the family and social affairs. While some in the opposition accused him of neglect, Cigler Kralj pointed to years of underfunding and understaffing.
