Matej Rigelnik wrote after participating in the Financial School for Youth event organized by Finance.si that he left feeling genuinely proud. According to him, 40 young people, mostly around 20 years old, voluntarily attended the twelve-hour education on personal finance. Rigelnik stated that the participants surprised him with their interest, questions, and serious approach. He believed that financial literacy is not only related to money but also to independence and the freedom to make decisions. He noted that, given the interest of young people, we should be more cautious in our judgments about what they do not understand and what will come of them. In his opinion, the voluntary decision of 40 young people to dedicate part of their free time to understanding their financial future indicated that something is shifting in the right direction in the country. He expressed pride in them and added that the future may be better than it sometimes seems. #FinančnaPismenost #Mladi #Izobraževanje (translated)

The Croatian public and Croatian citizens today see the true picture of all this exalted agitation regarding Gospić in the past month with this move. The goal is a large division, a large polarization, and an extended quasi-election campaign almost two years from the elections. Those who do this will certainly lose in the upcoming elections. I clearly convey this to them today," said Plenković. This afternoon we will have the opportunity to detail what has been done regarding waste remediation in Gospić. I want to emphasize that the government is carrying out remediation of black spots and landfills. Just as we solved the waste sludge issue in Biljani Donji and the problem of baled waste in Varaždin, we will also solve the problem of waste remediation in Gospić. Our goal is to protect public health and the environment, implement remediation, and increase oversight through the application of the new Waste Management Act," he said. The work of the judicial authorities is fully independent and autonomous. No one is above the law, and the fight against corruption and crime remains one of our most important political priorities," said Plenković. The one-time support for newborns has been doubled to 618 euros, and next year it will amount to 800 euros, with the ambition to reach 1,000 euros of support per born child in the last year of the mandate," he announced. #HrvatskiSabor #PolitičkaStabilnost #GospodarenjeOtpadom (translated)

Katja Kokot wrote that the right is financing the campaign with party funds and defends its positions with party members, while the Left is said to be using not only party money but also funds from non-governmental organizations, including millions from abroad, which she referred to as "Soros money." She added that the Left is also defending its positions with the support of non-governmental activists and public RTV. She asked whether this is still democracy or a competition of capital and power against common sense. She described the map of the referendum results on the amendment to the law on parliamentary inquiry as a representation of that common sense; according to her explanation, the dark blue areas voted against, while the light blue ones voted in favor. She also mentioned that at her home polling station and the surrounding ones, about 70 percent of votes were in favor of all four questions. In this context, she wondered where Slovenia is headed and whether power would belong to foreign capital, and wrote that the nation would write its own judgment. #demokracija #Slovenija #referendum (translated)

He described the document that became public as an incomplete working draft, not as an approved proposal from the Ministry of Health. He mentioned that the existing protective provisions of tobacco legislation will be maintained and incorporated into a new regulation, and that the circumstances of the preparation and submission of the document will be verified. He highlighted the goal of more effective prevention, reducing the harmful effects of alcohol and tobacco, and protecting children and adolescents. #zdravje #preventiva #tobak (translated)
