Ljubljana – The Commission for Oversight of Intelligence and Security Services (KNOVS) debated on Friday the disclosure by Interior Minister Aleš Hojs of pay data for the police force to vote against a resolution that Hojs’s act was inappropriate and affected the internal security in the police force.
The opposition MPs in the commission wanted to condemn the disclosure of names and wages of nearly 9,000 members of the police force and ministry employees and call on the ministry not to publish such lists any more.
The Interior Ministry published the list after PSS, one of the two police trade unions in Slovenia, launched a strike to demand higher pay. The trade union has filed criminal charges against Hojs, arguing the publishing jeopardised the safety of certain police officers and investigator.
