If one week in politics for a long time, and then two months can feel like an eternity. This is undoubtedly the Slovenian Prime Minister Alun Ka Bratusek situation.
Ms. Bratusek, the country's first female prime minister and leader of the mirror Pozitivna SLOVENIJA (Positive Slovenia), and only took office in late March. But she has spent years trying to negotiate a short week the European Commission adopted, requiring solutions Slovenia ailing banks and further tightening of the stomach limited public Charybdis between Scylla.

"So far, so good," the leading Slovenian economist, said the new prime minister's performance. Economists, who is close to the government, was not authorized to speak, and therefore asked not to be named. "She has a very good public appearance, she has no way antagonistic public former Prime Minister did not always work in her favor the fact that she is a completely new character, our politics," an economist told the Christian Science Monitor reported.
Financial crisis
Slovenia is the direct cause of the present predicament of the entire euro zone struggling on the edge of a familiar problem: inadequate funding and struggling banks. Slovenia, Austria, Italy, Croatia and Hungary, sandwiched between a nation's 2 million, since 2011, has been in a recession.
Slovenia after independence - especially after EU membership in 2004 and 2007 euro - bank generous credit lines to the "manager" many formerly state-owned enterprises controlled stake in these enterprises purchase. These so-called "MBO" politically popular because they are sure to remain in state hands, Slovenia industries.
But the question has been raised about the integrity of these management buyouts. In the 2008 financial crisis and global credit crunch, many of the loans to finance these purchases underwater, Slovenia once powerful banking sector.
In addition, an increase from 2004 to 2008 the building empty property bubble burst across the country, especially in Ljubljana, tens of thousands of unemployed. Interestingly, an increase in migration.
Corruption
Street Slovenia, Slovenia in recent years has been plagued by political corruption and economic frustration intensified.
Bratusek only becomes positive Slovenia leader Zoran Jankovic former president was forced to resign earlier this year. A National Anti-Corruption Commission found that he had not fully reported ? 2.4 Million ($ 3.1 million) of assets accumulated during his six-year term. (He is still the mayor of the capital Ljubljana.)
Similarly Anti-Corruption Commission also found that, when the Prime Minister Janez Jansa asset reporting system made illegal. Mr. Jansa's center-right Slovenian Democratic Party-led coalition in February, needs to be replaced with a new joint Bratusek and positive Slovenia at its apex.
Jansa's downfall, also fueled in part by last year's protests began in November, the country's second largest city Maribor. Tens of thousands protest against Mayor Franc Kangler's also been accused of corruption. Here for the first time since independence, Slovenia riot police used tear gas against protesters.
Mayor Kangler was forced to step down in December, but before that, protests have spread throughout Slovenia.
Avoid bailout
Corruption probe aftermath left relatively unknown Bratusek unexpected beneficiary. However, while Bratusek may be a new face on the TV screen in Slovenia, she has a relatively long political pedigree.
Although only in the Slovenian parliament elected in 2011 for a term of six years, she is the head of state budget director, the Ministry of Finance under the former Liberal Democracy of Slovenia (LDS) management rule until independence in 2004. This helped her navigate tricky political maneuvering, the current need in Slovenia, Europe and the public in the opposite direction of the pull.
Primoz Ci rman, Slovenian daily Dnevnik newspaper said, leading writers on economics, said: "If the politicians are too difficult, they are at home." If they are too soft, they are from Brussels. "Right now [the government] are trying to find a balance."
Earlier this month, Bratusek announced a series of measures designed to convince the most economically developed former Yugoslavia, Slovenia, the European Commission in its bank's balance sheet, you can insert a multibillion-euro hole, and avoid the euro District-led bailout.
Recommendations include creating a "bad bank" to allow banks unload bad debt; 2% increase in VAT; 15 public enterprises, including telecommunications and national carrier Slovenia Adria Airways and sales.
Smaller protests
Bratusek presence has softened the ongoing protests in the country, the size and frequency in recent months has declined.
Metelkova, the former Yugoslav National Army barracks has been at home since 1993, the African Network of Environmental Journalists Korsika squatter nascent democratic socialism initiative in Ljubljana explained that changing the government has taken some stinging protest movement.
"Jansa next fight is much easier," he said. "[Jansa] communist protesters called zombie 'and' left-wing fascism and all these things, really angered the people that really mobilize them into the street, in greater numbers than they would otherwise."
