Career
Academics In 2015, Krajnik founded the Slovenian Association for Lacanian Psychoanalysis. She has given lectures about psychoanalysis and philosophy. As of 2022, she was the head of a department of Lacanian psychoanalysis at Sigmund Freud Private University in Ljubljana. In 2017, Krajnik criticized Slavoj Žižek, associated with the Ljubljana school of psychoanalysis, including describing his work as fraudulent because he works in theoretical psychoanalysis rather than clinical practice. She later met with the ambassador of Ukraine to Slovenia and worked with the embassy of Ukraine in Ljubljana and the Ukrainian cultural society Ljubljana-Kyiv to organize a "Slovenia for Ukraine" event. Politics In 2022, Krajnik gave television interviews where she criticized Slovenian news media, privatisation of social property in the 1990s, the Slovenian left, and the "deep state" in Slovenia, among other topics. Her television comments on the 2022 Slovenian parliamentary election and in other interviews, including with Jože Možina, drew interest from the Slovenian right. She was endorsed by some conservatives, including former Constitutional Court of Slovenia judge Peter Jambrek. The newspaper Vijesti described her as "little known to the general public". As one of her credentials, she noted her leadership in introducing philosophy to children in preschool, although the Slovenian Philosophical Society disputed whether she was the first to do so. In July, a poll found support for Krajnik from 1.3% of voters, and another poll in August found 0.8% support. In September 2022, when official registrations for candidates were due, she announced that she decided not to run for president. == References ==
