Slovenia’s New Green-Left Govt to Dismantle Border Fence

Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, June 12, 2022

The government of Slovenia has stated that it intends to dismantle a border fence, created during the height of the migrant crisis along its border with Croatia, by the end of the year.

The Slovenian government under Prime Minister Robert Golob, a green-liberal politician who replaced pro-Trump populist Janez Jansa after elections in April, has vowed to dismantle the border fence along the Croatian border, which was initially put in place to stem the tide of migrants streaming across the Balkans in 2015 and 2016.

The situation along the Balkan route has changed dramatically since the start of the year and the European Union border agency Frontex has recorded a massive surge in activity along the route.

The border agency went as far as to warn that Europe may be facing another migrant crisis similar to 2015 and 2016 as the number of illegal entries was approaching numbers not seen since that period.
