Nataša Pirc Musar (President of Slovenia)

Nataša Pirc Musar - President of Slovenia

Yesterday I had the great opportunity to meet Nataša Pirc Musar, who has been serving as the President of Slovenia since December 2022. Pirc Musar is a former journalist and an influential lawyer best known for writing several books on freedom of information and privacy rights and representing Donald Trump's wife Melania during his presidency. She is Slovenia's first female head of state.

Pirc Musar was among the many world leaders attending the Munich Security Conference this weekend. On Friday evening she took part in a discussion event of the MSC Security and Literature Series together with philosopher and sociologist Renata Salecl. The event, which took place at the Literaturhaus in Munich, was open to the public. Pirc Musar and Salecl talked about the rise of disinformation and fake news and discussed its effects on society. They both certainly expressed very interesting thoughts and it was a pleasure to follow their conversation. 
After the debate I waited outside where Pirc Musar then kindly signed my photo after fulfilling several other autograph requests. I am very happy about this success and meeting the President of Slovenia definetely was one of the most fascinating encounters I have had so far!

Za konec delovnega dne pa izjemno prijetna razprava s spoštovano dr. Renato Salecl o boju proti dezinformacijam in njeni novi knjigi Strast do nevednosti, ki jo priporočam v branje. Družba s kvalitetnimi javnimi mediji je manj dojemljiva na vpliv dezinformacij. #MSC2023 pic.twitter.com/kaH7RMIZae
