Press release:
Lojze Dolinar on Slovenian TV and in a Ljubljana weekly newspaper:
,,The KHD is now an ally of the Slovenes”
Immediately after the consensus on place-name signs, which was widely recognized throughout Austria, the Carinthian Homeland Service had already advertised more bilingual place-name signs in the interests of peace in the country in newspaper advertisements paid for from their own resources.
That was hardly appreciated by the Slovenian side either, like the fact, that the KHD a few weeks ago 5.000 Euro reward paid for researching anti-Slovenian local sign smearers.
It is all the more remarkable and enjoyable, if now a prominent Carinthian Slovene, the Vice Mayor of Klagenfurt Lojze Dolinar (Team Carinthia) on the Slovenian state television RTV Slovenija as well as in the Ljubljana weekly newspaper DOMOVINA, run by Marjan Sturm and Josef Feldner, even as “Model for Slovenia” highlights.
Below is the German translation of an excerpt from DOMOVINA from 3. June:
,, … The major upheaval in Carinthia was achieved by Marjan Sturm, together with the chairman of the KHD; once a downright anti-Slovenian organization, started a reconciliation initiative, who actively dismantled the prejudices of the two peoples, that they both commemorative events at the graves of the victims or. fallen soldiers on both sides:
“When you're two meters underground, you are no longer an enemy, therefore these commemorations have strong symbolism”.
The KHD; who has done a lot of damage to the Slovenes in the past, is now actually an ally of the Slovenes under chairman Josef Feldner, underlines Dolinar:
“All the crimes, committed by totalitarian regimes, have left terrible scars in our souls. We mustn't sprinkle salt on these scars, we have to purify it, so that they can heal. This can not be done overnight, these are generation problems. But if we don't do anything, that the scars heal, the next generations will suffer from it. “
That is why the dialogue, lead the storm and Feldner, very productive. That would also be a role model for Slovenia … “.
The above excerpt is taken from a two-page article in DOMOVINA under the title below:
,,The Austrian media did not spread any negativism during the epidemic. Klagenfurt has become an anti-Slovene defiant castle open to the Slovene ethnic group. This is what Lojze Dolinar reports, Vice Mayor in Klagenfurt”
