Two years after the death of former Slovenian president Janez Drnovšek, Sleeping With Pengovsky observes [1] that “most of the nation is on the prowl against any sort of deviation from ‘normality’, be this deviation actual or imagined, personal or political”: “President Drnovšek rarely passed judgement. […] But when he spoke, his words had merit. Today, a lot of what is being said is judgemental to start with and is fluff to boot.”
