During a recent press conference, Zoran Janković addressed the citizenry following a local referendum, acknowledging the varied participation rates. He noted that 19 percent of citizens voted, while 81 percent did not participate in the process. Janković stated that every individual, whether they cast a vote for or against the measure, or chose not to attend, has communicated their stance.
Despite the turnout, Janković maintained his belief that a significant majority of those who organized the referendum do not fully comprehend the scope of the vote, suggesting that some actions appear to be motivated by political maneuvering rather than civic consensus. Furthermore, Janković offered his assessment regarding Klemen Fajs, a representative of the Civil Initiative for Ljubljana. He claimed that Fajs garnered the support of approximately 40,000 city residents who expressed dissatisfaction with current conditions.
Janković suggested that this level of support might be preparatory for future local elections or potentially for a separate referendum challenging the current mayor, a claim that contradicted statements made by the organizers. He emphasized that during the city’s general assembly, the discussion centered on these underlying political currents. Janković continued to analyze the dynamics of the local political landscape, focusing on the divide between those who participated in the vote and those whose motivations remain unclear.
His remarks highlighted a persistent divergence between the official narrative surrounding the referendum and the underlying sentiments of the populace.
