Tea Jedlovcnik noted that things should be explained to people in such a way. In her opinion, a campaign with a team of entrepreneurs, doctors, and midwives could overcome the group she referred to with a derogatory term.

She addressed the post to the Government of the Republic of Slovenia. #kampanja #podjetništvo #zdravstvo (translated)

Žan Mahnič thanked everyone who voted four times in favor at the Sunday referendums. He assessed that the result, despite greater engagement from the left, exceeded the expectations of the right. According to him, the campaign was supported by leftist parties, several dozen NGOs, influencers, unions, RTV Slovenia, and activists, who he claimed received funding from the state budget through calls for proposals, while only right-wing parties participated on the other side. Mahnič noted that the left expected a victory of 70 to 30, but that did not happen. He added that the two referendums won by the left were decided by a few hundred votes. He interpreted the result as confirmation that the direction of the government led by Janez Janša is supported by 50 percent of voters, even though surveys estimated support at around 40 percent, and in some areas considerably more than 50 percent. He assessed the political balance in Slovenia as 50:50 and predicted that in ten years, due to the voting habits of older and younger voters, it could turn in favor of the right. For the upcoming referendum on the intervention law for the development of Slovenia, he called for a joint campaign of advocates for lower taxes and less bureaucracy. He believed that right-wing parties alone would not be able to secure a victory and that artisans, entrepreneurs, retirees, students, healthcare workers, and others affected by the law should be involved. He attributed a stronger mobilization to the opposing side than that seen in the Sunday referendums and assessed that their concerns were not about Slovenia and the citizens' wallets, but rather their own benefits. Mahnič also warned of the possibility that there might be too few representatives of the advocates in the face-offs organized by RTV Slovenia compared to politicians, NGOs, unionists, and influencers on the opposing side. He urged those affected to actively engage in the campaign and asked what they were willing to do for collective success. #Slovenija #politika #referendum (translated)

The test was successful, RTV has once again proven that it serves you, that it is in the absolute hands of the political left and that it is already participating in the referendum campaign, even though it has not yet started.

Daniel Schatz wrote that Israel's F16 national team would come to Borås the following week to face France, the Netherlands, and Sweden. He stated that activists would start a campaign to boycott the matches since 17-year-old Israeli girls would be playing in Sweden. Schatz wrote that Norrby IF had difficulty finding volunteers for Israel's matches and called the situation shameful. He emphasized that these were young football players who should be able to play without becoming targets for political campaigns and hate. He urged people in the vicinity of Borås to sign up as volunteers or come and show their support, referring to David Kryssman at [email protected].
