Majda Potočnik

Ena od terenskih županj v regiji, ki si svojega prvega mandata na čelu občine gotovo ni mogla predstavljati na tako težaven način, kot se ji odvija zdaj. V tej občini se je vzpostavila tudi mednarodna vojaška baza, iz katere se je stekala pomoč. Svojevrstna junakinja, ki je pomagala reševati utopljene v kampu Menina in pri tem sama tvegala življenje.

One of the region’s hands-on mayors, she could not have imagined her first mayoral term would be as difficult as it is. The municipality was the headquarters of an international military base from which aid was disbursed. A special kind of heroine, she helped rescue those at risk of drowning in the Menina Campsite, risking her own life in the process.
