In January 2021, the Ministry of the Interior, led by Aleš Hojs, disclosed salary information with the specification of names and surnames, workposts, and gross salaries received in December 2020 for all the employees of the Slovenian Police. The event was a response to the start of a police strike and was followed by a massive public oucry. The ministry was reproached for violating the privacy of the employees and the Rules on the protection of police information and for the endangerment of police procedures, public safety, and safety of the affected employees. The Information Commissioner, Mojca Prelesnik, considered that the disclosure had been in line with the GDPR and the Slovenian information privacy law since the information related to public sector employees, so she did not opt to start an inspection. The Prime Minister, Janez Janša, promised to withdraw police employees from the payment system of public sector employees.
