Protests and COVID-19 in Slovenia

Over the last 10 weeks, protesters right across Slovenia have flocked to the streets of their cities to protest against the newly installed right-wing government there – in addition to the generalised economic pressures brought about in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Slovenia is not a country commonly featuring in the international press, so you probably didn’t notice the mass movement of 10s of thousands of people protesting out of a total population of 2 million.
