The National Assembly has formally established a new inquiry commission, which will investigate potential interference by the Janez Janša government into its policing during the epidemic.

The commission will inquire the work of the police since March last year, when the current government was sworn in.

The request was signed by four opposition parties.

The inquiry will also look for any unacceptable political pressure exerted on police officials and staff.

The opposition also argued people's trust in the police was weakened due to the policing of protests during the epidemic, but its arguments were dismissed by the ruling SDS party.
