Slovenia Asks Europe to Investigate Why They Don't Have It as Nice as in Liepāja

While Riga is still wondering whether it's even worth going to vote, Slovenia is unfolding a real spy novel with Israeli company 'Black Cube' and secret video recordings. Prime Minister Golob has announced that he has become a victim of foreign interference and is now asking the European Commission to investigate everything.

As our Grīzupe resident Maija tells us: 'We also sometimes have conflicts in Liepāja, but we always resolve them civilly — we go to Liepāja Lake, build a sand castle and agree that whoever makes the tallest tower is right. No secret cameras needed.'

Slovenian politicians claim their conversations have been secretly recorded, in which they talk about corruption and illegal lobbying. French President Macron has even expressed support and said that such interference happens in all European elections. Meanwhile, our tram driver Juris comments: 'Here too someone sometimes tries to influence the tram route, but we simply say — get on or don't get on, but the tracks are what they are.'

Now Slovenia awaits investigation and a fight between liberals and conservatives. But as our experienced sailor Kārlis says: 'We also sometimes have strong winds at sea, but we don't go complaining to Brussels — we just put on a stronger jacket and continue living.'
