Trump's wife's former lawyer will become President of Slovenia
Liberal candidate Nataša Pirc Musar, who once served as Melania Trump's lawyer, won the second round of Slovenia's presidential election and will become the country's first female president, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to the results of counting almost all the votes, as predicted by the polls, Pirc Musar won with a significant margin over her competitor, former Foreign Minister Anze Logar - 54% versus 46%. She will be the country's first female president since Slovenia became an independent state following the breakup of Yugoslavia.
Her victory strengthens the liberal bloc of political forces in Slovenia after the center-left won parliamentary elections in April. Natasha Pirc Musar has already stated that she sees her first priority in office as “opening a dialogue between all Slovenians.”
Natasha Pirc Musar was born in 1968 in Ljubljana. She graduated from the Faculty of Law at the University of Ljubljana in 1992, but then worked for eleven years on television as a journalist and news presenter. In the early 2000s, she began working in the field of corporate communications.
In April 2003, she became director of the Center for Training and Communication of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Slovenia. On July 15, 2004, the parliament elected her as Slovenia's Commissioner for Access to Public Information. She was subsequently appointed Information Commissioner. She held this position until 2014.
After finishing her term as information commissioner, she set up her own law firm. Among her clients was Melania Trump, the wife of Donald Trump, and Natasha Pirts Musar won the case against journalists who wrote that Melania worked part-time in an export service in her youth.
The future president of Slovenia is married to businessman Ales Musar, and the couple have a son. The Musar family is the owner of a famous historical building in Ljubljana called the Russian Dacha. It was here that the election headquarters of Natasha Pirts Musar was located.
As PolitNavigator reported , Slovenia denies Serbs their rights as a national minority, even though there are more than 100 Serbs in the country.
