(SATIRE) More Obvious Than Ever: An Assassination!

Two theories have emerged in public discussion of the accident in the Kastelec tunnel, the satirical column says. One holds that it was an ordinary crash and that people should stop "clucking" about it. The other claims that intelligence services had a hand in what happened.

The article ridicules the way the debate has expanded. It refers to Russian intelligence, alleged links between Austrian and Slovenian journalists, and claims involving lawyer Franci Matoz and Anita, described as a public-relations official connected with the Koper police administration. The more the story moves from an ordinary tunnel into a maze of underground forces and hidden monsters, the more, the column suggests, its promoters reveal that they do not regard it as an ordinary accident.

Five weeks after the crash, the article says, the event is increasingly being portrayed as an attempt to injure and erase Slovenia’s first woman from the face of the earth. It sarcastically declares that the assassination is really taking place weeks after the tunnel’s supposed "paštroč" or sausage jota, presented as the fare being served to the public.

The satire then turns to broader claims about Slovenia’s history and the war in Gaza. It mocks possible attempts to rewrite responsibility for deportations to German and Italian camps, and rejects the idea that people describing the current genocide are merely repeating Hamas propaganda. It cites claims about 73,000 deaths, more than 100,000 wounded, more than 240 journalists killed and 600 foreign humanitarian workers killed, alongside the destruction in Gaza and accusations concerning Israel’s response to the Hamas attack.
