Amid rumors the first lady's planning a trip back to Slovenia after 15 years, some of the countrys most accomplished women hope shell break with her husband's cruel policies.
LJUBLJANA, SloveniaWhat were first faint rumors turned into palpable buzz: Melania Trump, the most famous daughter of Slovenia, might finally visit her homeland. Her father, Viktor Knavs, was seen here driving a white Maybach with Florida plates between the capital and Melanias hometown of Sevnica preparing the way, it was said, for a spectacular homecoming.
But as the rumors multiplied, so did a widespread sense of disappointment that Americas first lady has not been back to her motherland for 15 years.
Several of Slovenias leading women decided the time might be ripe to invite Melania Knavs Trump back here for a bit of dialogue about some major global issues. Members of Femmes Sans Frontières (Women Without Borders) brainstormed at the elegant villa of Jerca Legan, the organizations president, in the old town of Ljubljana. They were environmentalists, writers, artists, entrepreneurs, bureaucrats, lawyers and business developers, who decided to issue a formal invitation.
Some, like Slovenian fashion diva Maja Ferme, have known Melania for several years, as a friend and benefactor for various charities; others had expected Melania to be more assertive in the international arena.
Frankly, I have not heard a single strong statement by Melania in years, which is kind of embarrassing, if not shameful, said communications consultant Darinka Pavlic Kamien.
