UN rapporteur praises Slovenian president over Palestinian flag stance

UN rapporteur praises Slovenian president over Palestinian flag stance Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory, praised Slovenian President Natasa Pirc Musar after she criticised the decision by Prime Minister Janez Janša to remove the Palestinian flag from the main government building in Ljubljana. In a post on X, Albanese described Palestine as the “moral compass of our time” and said Musar’s response demonstrated that there “is hope for Europe”. She added that such a Europe would “put people above banks and markets, rights above profits, and respect international law regardless of political calculus”.
