Left-wing political factions are demanding the resignation of Stevanović, while Borut Sajovic, leader of the Freedom Party, has refuted allegations of attacking the National Assembly President. Sajovic contends that the opposition’s actions are necessary to defend the foundations of Slovenia as a sovereign state, arguing that Stevanović has repeatedly and deliberately violated constitutional protocols. In response, Stevanović asserted that he has fulfilled all his constitutional responsibilities.
He stated that he successfully convened two sessions of the National Assembly, ensuring that all necessary items were placed on the agenda for voting by members of parliament (MPs). Conversely, the coordinator for the Left party criticized the process, asserting that the right to convene extraordinary sessions and parliamentary inquiries belongs to the MPs, as stipulated by the minutes and the constitution. According to this source, Stevanović initiated the sessions but subsequently voted against the adoption of the agenda items.
This action, they claimed, hindered the work of the national body and constituted an abuse of constitutional power. The ongoing dispute centers on the proper functioning of the assembly and the authority of the president in managing parliamentary procedure. While some view Stevanović’s actions as necessary constitutional duties, others characterize them as maneuvers designed to impede the legislative process within the national framework.
