The European People’s Party (EPP) is scheduled to hold a vote on Wednesday regarding the potential exclusion of Branko Grims. Amidst the pending decision, a prominent figure from the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) addressed the party’s executive committee in Ljubljana on Wednesday afternoon. This gathering marked the first time Grims had met with his home party colleagues following the announcement of the disciplinary action.
When questioned about the exclusion, European Member of Parliament Romana Tomc indicated that the final decision was expected on Wednesday. A party member, Danijel Krivec, confirmed that Grims had not yet been officially excluded, framing the situation as a significant new challenge for the organization. The political dispute has drawn attention from European socialist groups.
These observers contend that the matter surrounding Grims is not an isolated incident but rather indicative of the broader political direction of the SDS. Consequently, these socialists have expressed the view that all members of the SDS should be excluded from the EPP. They stated that such comprehensive action would be necessary to effectively limit the activities of what they term the extreme right wing within the European political landscape.
The focus remains on the EPP’s deliberation, which will determine the fate of Grims within the international political structure.
