Tine Hribar

Tine Hribar (born 28 January 1941 as Velentin Hribar) is a

Slovenian Spring. He is the husband of author, essayist and political commentator Spomenka Hribar
.

Life

He was born in the small village of

Marxist attitudes. In 1981 he co-founded the alternative journal Nova revija
.

In 1987 Hribar was among the editors of the famous "

Democratic Party
, but withdrew from active engagement in politics.

In 1992 Hribar became a professor at the University of Ljubljana again. In 1995 he became a member of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts.

Political commentator

Hribar's role in Slovenian public life after 1991 caused controversy. In the early 1990s he warned against the recurrence of

liberal conservative civic platform Rally for the Republic, which publicly supported the centre-right electoral coalition led by Janez Janša. This sudden and radical turn in Hribar's political affiliation was widely criticized, especially by post-Marxist philosopher Slavoj Žižek
, Hribar's former collaborator from the late 1970s.

Between 2004 and 2008, Hribar was relatively supportive of the policies of Janša's government, especially the

anti-Catholic
position.

After the parliamentary elections of 2008, which brought the left wing to power in Slovenia, Hribar adopted critical stance towards the Slovenian left, accusing it of abusing power for personal privileges.[1] He maintained a critical, but substantially favourable attitude towards the Slovenian secular right wing parties, especially to the Slovenian Democratic Party and its leader Janez Janša, whom he nevertheless accused of an excessively moralizing political discourse.[1]
