MP resigns for stealing sandwich

A lawmaker resigned on Thursday for stealing a sandwich from a supermarket because he was annoyed about being ignored by staff. Darij Krajcic, a member of parliament for the Marjan Sarec List party said he walked off without paying because three supermarket employees had “treated (him) like air” and continued chatting. “I must have stood some three minutes by the counter,” he told private POP TV. Krajcic insisted that he returned shortly afterward to pay for the sandwich. But he apologized and resigned from parliament. The head of LMS’ parliamentary faction, Brane Golubovic, condemned Krajcic’s actions as “unacceptable” and said the MP “has to bear the responsibility, in line with LMS’ high ethical standards”.
