Slovenian website prevents corruption
The Slovenian anti-corruption authority launched its web portal Supervizor on Tuesday, which gives citizens an overview of public spending since 2003. The left-liberal daily Delo is full of praise: "Less than a year after Goran Klemenčič's team took over at the anti-corruption authority it has presented the public with an anatomy of the budget on the basis of existing legislation and without great promises or political marketing. Will this gigantic body of data shed light on crime or clientelism? For sure. But more importantly, anyone who spends public money will in future have to think twice about whether he gives it to friends or uses it for the public good."

Bombs against exploitive Slovenian company
A bomb was found on Wednesday in front of the headquarters of the Slovenian construction company Vegrad. The company is considerably in arrears with its employees and several subsidiaries. The daily Delo writes that the two facts are clearly related, and is not surprised that things have come to a head: "The former police chief and sociologist Pavle Čelikhas announced as early as the start of the 1990s that within a short time extreme forms of violence would emerge in Slovenia, including terrorism, if the country failed to get a grip on its increasingly large social contradictions. The statement by the security expert has proved wrong in part. Those who suffered the first social shocks in the 1990s have turned out to have more patience than expected. Nevertheless ... this bomb at the entrance to a business that has swindled hundreds of people is a clear signal that their patience is nearing an end. At least one person has clearly had enough. His dignity has been trodden underfoot."
