A Facebook page administered from North Macedonia has become the epicenter of a political scandal shaking Slovenia. The page, named "Masks Are Falling," publishes audio recordings in which officials of Slovenia's ruling "Freedom Movement" party allegedly discuss corruption and political manipulations.

The recordings include former party secretary Vesna Vuković in conversations about internal political matters. One recording mentions Infrastructure Minister Alenka Bratušek in connection with irregularities related to the construction of the second railway track on the Divača–Koper line.

The president of the Slovenian parliament, Urška Klakač Zupančič, is also mentioned — allegedly receiving additional payments through the party, allegations she publicly denied, calling them "complete lies and fabrications."

The Slovenian police are investigating whether the recordings are authentic and whether their creation or publication constitutes a criminal offense. The ruling party considers it a "dark political campaign" and does not rule out the possibility that the recordings were generated by artificial intelligence.
