A President Committed to Reinforcing his Politics with Spirituality

category international | eu | other press author Friday June 23, 2006 15:39author by Stephen Potter Report this post to the editors

One from the Balkans

The mysterious transformation of Janez Drnovsek, Slovenia's President: from technocrat to "guru".

(Note: I'm really surprised that the ipsphi missed this one ... and therefore I can't resist a wee bit of oneupmanship ... still the Balkans were never really his strong point ... )

It concerns the mysterious transformation of Janez Drnovsek, Slovenia's President, after a life-threatening illness ...

It has been a popular topic in recent times in various central European neighbours of Slovenia(especially Austria) but the news doesn't seem to have made its way to Ireland yet - at least not onto indymedia.ie.

"For the last year the president of Slovenia has been living in a wooden house in the middle of the countryside, where he bakes bread that he has prepared himself using organic flour, and both he and his mastiff Brodi are vegetarians – a philosophy which he will attempt to make transcend the interests of the European Union.

On the strength of his new spiritual view of politics he has presented a peace plan for Kosovo (Serbia) and apologised for the cartoons of the prophet Mohammed which were published by some Slovenian newspapers.

His website champions the conservation of nature and the protection of children, old people and animals, and bases itself on the positive energy among human beings and the genuine Christianity preached by Jesus.

Nevertheless, he insists that his transformation from politician to spiritual and humanitarian leader was not a sudden one: ‘Everybody changes. The important thing is to change for the better. One has to raise one’s consciousness. And the important thing is the truth. You have to tell the truth to yourself and to everyone. That is what I do now.’"

Just change a few names and places and this could be a IAWM/SWP press release about RBB.

the word "Balkans" is a fnord
I have had it up to "here" with the fnords, & am either naming & shaming them or just ignoring 'em.

Great article :-)
Let's give Slovenia 6 months, and then the bright sparks will go there & start "property speculating", they'll have taken all their young people's hopes of thier own home away in 5 years, but the place will be very popular & t-r-e-n-d-y.
