An article posted by a weekly associated with the party of Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša describes the novel coronavirus as having been sent to Earth by God in order to protect white people and has become a political scandal in Slovenia. The editor faces criminal charges and the opposition is calling for the governing party's coalition partners to distance themselves from the piece, according to the Hina news agency.
"God created the virus to protect the more advanced white race from corruption, a virus that infects just certain people, races, and individuals with certain characteristics," the weekly Demokratija (Democracy) posted last Monday. "This is, therefore, about targeted clearance, just like how people get rid of harmful species, molds and weeds."
