Žiga Turk expressed outrage at the decision of the Constitutional Court, which he understood as a further distancing of Slovenia from capitalism and a free market economy. He stated that the court assessed that the interference with the contractual freedom of employers is justified by the public interest related to the protection of workers and the improvement of their social position. Turk argued that the court, in its assessment of mandatory Christmas bonuses, compared the benefits to employees with an abstract limitation of contractual freedom of employers, without also considering whether the money would benefit companies for further investments. He estimated that the decision undermines the trust of domestic and foreign investors in the safety of property in Slovenia, as in his opinion, politically appointed judges could decide who should receive the money. #Slovenija #kapitalizem #gospodarstvo (translated)

Žiga Turk stated that he expects a new encouragement for people to protest in three phases. According to him, dissatisfaction and anger should first escalate, and there should be an increasing emphasis on the alleged destruction of public education. Then, a fabricated or manipulated scandal similar to the one about smoking should come to light, as, in his view, flight tickets would not suffice to provoke outrage. This should be followed by mass protests against the government, which he labeled as fascist and accused of not putting mayonnaise on children's sandwiches. #protest #vlada #družba (translated)

Žiga Turk wrote that people should not underestimate reason, as it should be clear to most leftists, in his opinion, that it is not a struggle for democracy, but rather for the preservation of the propaganda apparatus of the far left, which, according to him, is forcibly financed by the entire state. https://t.co/wUUxCPe4sP #Demokracija #Svoboda #PolitičnaDebata (translated)

Žiga Turk wrote for RTV Slovenia that the rising cost of living and the deterioration of public services are merely excuses. According to him, they explained to the French that there are free lunches, and now they seem to want free breakfast and dinner as well. #življenjskistroški #javneusluge #Francija (translated)

Žiga Turk described the events in France as a regrettable natural state of humanity. He referred to the prevention of violent conflict resolution as a central civilizational achievement throughout history, but he believed that democracy only works when people are God-fearing. He added that the initial response seemed to be democracy, but that assumption was incorrect. #demokracija #mir #civilizacija (translated)

Žiga Turk wrote that the protesters were stealing and breaking things, presumably because there was not enough of a welfare state, or, on the contrary, because there was too much of it. He added that it is hard to know which reason was valid. #protest #socialnaPravičnost #družbeneSpremembe (translated)

Žiga Turk proposed that regarding RTV, the coalition should first adopt a minor amendment that would introduce a conscience objection to paying the fee before making more significant changes to the law. According to his proposal, the fee would be reduced by 75 percent for the contributor if they stated in a justified letter that RTV does not fulfill one or more tasks from the article marked as xxx. #RTV #zakonodaja #mediji (translated)

Žiga Turk believed that it was not possible to win the referendum on taxes for the wealthy in Slovenia and that he would therefore ignore it. According to his proposal, after the law fell, all tax solutions would be accepted again. He wrote that legislation on the subjects decided at the referendum could not be changed for one year, and referendums on taxes are not permissible. From this, he concluded that the referendum was not about taxes and that laws on them could be adopted the very next day. To maintain the non-tax solutions from the omnibus law, their advocates would have to get involved in the campaign, in his opinion. He questioned why the government would take risks for people who are not interested in this. #Slovenija #Referendum #Davki (translated)

Žiga Turk noted that half of the voters did not want a political police, while the other half wanted an investigation into political corruption. He labeled both as good, but called it bad that, according to him, they lied to the first half of the voters. #politika #volitve #korupcija (translated)

Žiga Turk wrote that, in his opinion, the left expresses itself excessively and uses, as he stated, labels like genocide for a brutal war, extreme right for the right, fascist government for a democratic government, and political police for a parliamentary commission. He added that, in his opinion, such behavior would not be tolerated in the country if there were at least some critical media, but he labeled the media as the main enablers of this rhetoric. #politika #mediji #histerija (translated)

Žiga Turk accused RTV Slovenia of using the floods in the Savinja basin to campaign for a referendum, calling such conduct perverse. According to him, the voice for abolishing the subscription sent a depoliticized message that it is time for change. #referendum #politika #Savinjska (translated)

Žiga Turk wrote that the referendum campaign of Svoboda, Levica, and non-governmental organizations, for which he used an insulting term, was, in his opinion, conducted to prevent the investigation of allegedly questionable dealings of the new class. He added that the Democrats would vote in favor. https://t.co/NC6hMHmRqZ #demokracija #referendum #političnaPolicija (translated)

Bravo Janša, for not yielding to the pressure of the herd regarding the choice of words. There are few who dare to do this. There is war in Gaza. Israel is hunting terrorists who were killing on October 7th. They will catch everyone. They will get what they deserve. #Gaza #Izrael #vojna (translated)

Na neki način se mi mlade marčevke smilijo. Ne zato, ker jih Gaza prizadene. Prizadane vsakega. Žalostno je nekaj drugega: da je tragedija na drugem koncu sveta postala tako velik del njihovega čustvenega življenja. Heideggerjev Dasein pomeni človeka, ki je vržen v neki konkretni svet: v ta kraj, ta čas, med te ljudi, v odnose, dolžnosti, ljubezni, težave in odgovornosti, ki so osebno njegove tukaj in zdaj. Bivati pomeni najprej biti tukaj. Da sein. Zato je nekaj bolezenskega v življenju, ki najmočnejša čustva črpa iz dogodkov, oddaljenih tisoče kilometrov, medtem ko neposredni svet postaja zgolj kulisa. Skrbeti za oddaljeno trpljenje je človeško. Ne sme pa oddaljena tragedija postati resničnejša od ljudi za sosednjimi vrati. Morda ves ta jok, stok in škripanje z zobmi kaže na odsotnost pristnega sveta, ki bi bil zares njihov: na odsotnost odnosov, obveznosti, tveganj in smisla, zaradi katerih bi bilo njihovo lastno življenje dovolj polno, da bi zahtevalo polno pridotnost. Heidegger bi morda rekel, da vprašanje ni samo, za kaj jim je mar, ampak ali v svetu, v katerega so bile vržene, sploh zares prebivajo. Skratka, punce, s kakšnim delom bi se kazalo zamotit. #človečnost #tragedija #odnosi
