Slovenian interior minister asked to apologise for 'swine' comment – EURACTIV.com

Slovenian President Borut Pahor has criticised Interior Minister Aleš Hojs for using the term “swine” in a comment interpreted as targeting a senior member of the EU Commission, urging the minister to apologise.
Hojs made the comment at a government briefing for Brussels correspondents on Friday (2 July), with the journalists interpreting one of his comments as taking aim at European Commission First Vice President Frans Timmermans.
The journalists confronted Hojs about the “do not cast pearls before swine” comment he made on Twitter about the Yellow Jackets, a far-right group linked to neo-Nazis which was removed by police from recent anti-government protests.
