Borut Rončević wrote that following the announcement of a comprehensive reform of education, he experienced increasing political and media pressure. He described the story about airline tickets as an attempt to discredit the responsible minister and a political showdown, but added that ministers are obliged to explain the use of public money. According to him, information about the travel habits of previous governments shows that the current outrage is not due to concern for public finances, but rather opposition to the reform. Rončević believed that unions and the educational establishment had too much influence on education policy in the past. He attributed a legitimate role to unions in representing employees, but said their influence should not include veto power over the substantive direction of the reform. He also claimed that the educational establishment had harmed the system in the last three decades by following a progressive ideology. Regarding the left and the Left, he wrote that they sought ideological hegemony primarily through the fields of education and culture. He emphasized that in preparing the reform, teachers, principals, parents, students, researchers, local communities, and the economy are involved, while unions should participate in discussions about salaries, working conditions, and employee rights. In his view, those politically responsible should decide on the direction of changes based on data and professional analyses. As ten starting points for the reform, he listed a greater emphasis on knowledge, high standards, the development of students' potentials, work ethic, patriotic and civic education, ideological neutrality, the authority of teachers, early literacy, digital and other knowledge for the future, and broader responsibility in shaping school policy. Rončević announced the relocation of the ministry to Novo mesto, a reduction in the number of employees, and strict limitations on remote work. He stated that the success of the reorganization should be measured by faster responses, timely resolution of issues, lower costs, clearer distribution of responsibilities, and user satisfaction. He wrote that the reform has the support of a broader public, parents, teachers, and the coalition, according to the data he presented. He expected even more pressure, including media publications, reports to the Commission for Prevention of Corruption, criminal charges, petitions, and interpellations, and announced that he would not abandon or soften the changes because of them. #reformaizobraževanja #javnofinanciranje #politika (translated)

Libertarec proposed a compromise solution for RTV: the contribution should not be abolished but made voluntary. According to him, this would respect the referendum decision and the right to choose, given the close ratio of 50:50 and a difference of 600 votes. He suggested that RTV should establish new subscription agreements with those who would sign them, set the subscription fee independently, and those who support the contribution would become subscribers and pay double the amount. #RTV #referendum #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)

Uroš Urbanija wrote that the referendum on RTV Slovenia showed that 50 percent of Slovenians would like to contribute to public broadcasting, while the other 50 percent would not. He believed that it would not be right to prevent payment from those who want it, nor to demand contributions from others. As a solution, he suggested that everyone could allocate part of their income tax to a media of their choice. #referendum #Slovenija #RTV (translated)

Johanca opposed labeling the service as free and noted that there are no free services. She believed that the price of kindergarten is high because it also includes children who could stay at home, as one of the parents is unemployed. She suggested that children of employed parents should be given priority, and that another solution should be sought for children from families receiving social benefits and the highest child allowances. #Brezplačno #Družina #SocijalnaPravica (translated)

I think we are at a point where we are not discussing which solution is better, but whether it is light during the day and dark at night. Prime Minister Janez Janša presented his foreign policy to the world, which normalizes the crimes of Israel. #Slovenija #politika #genocid (translated)
