A report concerning the nomination of Tanja Fajon for the role of EU Special Representative for the Sahel was presented to the government today during a special session, according to the Ministry. The nomination document in question was signed by the Secretary General of the MZEZ, an individual who reports directly to Fajon. In response to this, the Ministry referenced the opinion provided by the government service for legislation.
This service raised a point of contention regarding the basis upon which the Secretary General was submitting the nomination. The Ministry relayed that the government service clarified that, under the Government Act, the government functions as the representative of the state and handles personnel matters on behalf of the state. The service’s analysis led to the conclusion that, in this specific instance, the nomination was not submitted by the Government of the Republic of Slovenia acting in its capacity as the legal representative of the state.
Instead, the document indicated that the appointment originated directly from Fajon. Consequently, the Ministry concluded that the appointment was made by Fajon herself, rather than through the formal governmental channels typically expected for such a high-level nomination. This clarification addressed the procedural authority surrounding the involvement of the Secretary General in the submission process.
