Nice summary. It's interesing to learn about other people's ways and lives.

However, something seems to be wrong with your picture hosting. You put up a whole lot of shots, but the only one that shows up is this one:

COLD AND PEACE FOR THE POLICE: The third Ljubljana protest was peacefull. No incidents. Is the hot blood cooling or a calm before the storm

Thanks Betonov, very informative post! Out media reported next to nothing about the events. Only a little coverage of the riots, but no infos about the causes other than mentioning corrucption.
I pray to the Slovenian gods that our silly politicians won't read your post, the mixture of political power and private company interests is something our regime loves. I hope they won't get inspired by Kangler, otherwise I might have to buy a tow line for my car

Some questions:
1. Did the presidential election result somehow influence the uprisings ? (either fueled it or satisfied people)
2. Are demonstrators allowed to cover their faces in Slovenia? Here they forbid it in the 80s, and depending on the demonstration it sometimes get harshly enforced.
3. As you mentioned that water cannons have been used for the first time: are there any regulations about the circumstances when they are allowed to be used?

Pfft! I am not oine-dimensional like this!




(The gal Steve pointed out also jumped into my eyes)


In the sign above, Jansa looks very similar to Louis de Funes, especially like in . You should use the linked video to make some memes. Just a little inspiration to support the Slovenian uprising - hot chicks in sexy partisan caps can't be wrong.

1) Quite opposite. The two days of the elections were the most peadefull. Protesters respected the voting silence and nothing occured during those two days.

2) I don't know. The police tend to single them out as covering the face means you want to stay anonymus when you riot. The peacefull protesters said themselves, to show their faces just so they can distance themselves from the hooligans

3) Also don't know. Proabibly at the judgement of the police commander at that time.
