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)

Democracy has written that Gregor Virant was disconnected twice yesterday during the show Tarča after he started talking about things that, in their opinion, were clearly not to the liking of the public television. They added that due to significant program differences, they could not join Robert Golob's government with the Left, so they decided to cooperate in a government where they can implement their program. #GregorVirant #politika #vlada (translated)

Marko Lotrič wrote that Asta Vrečko from the Levica party is spreading lies about him, and he labeled the events in the National Council this week as a political farce. He believes that some have not accepted that they are no longer in power, which is why they are creating political confrontations and personally discrediting him. He emphasized that he respects the role of unions and non-governmental organizations, but in his view, their fundamental mission is not political activism, but rather representing the interests of the people. He added that he himself represents the economy, craftsmen, entrepreneurs, employers, and local communities, which, according to him, create jobs and contribute to the development of Slovenia. Lotrič stated that the voting in the National Council was carried out according to valid rules and that he respects its outcome. He wrote that despite the attacks, he will continue to advocate for the interests of the economy and local communities and strive for cooperation and development of Slovenia. He added that he is not afraid of anyone, as he owes nothing to anyone. He described the political moves of Asta Vrečko and personal attacks as ridiculous, but said that he must respond for the sake of the National Council’s reputation and respect for democratic institutions. He accused Vrečko, some non-governmental organizations, and unions of going too far and causing great damage to the country. He expressed hope that people will soon bring them back down to earth. #Slovenija #Politika #Gospodarstvo (translated)

Sprejeli ali ne Izrael je močna in vplivna država. Zelo močna in vplivna država. Sodelovanje z Izraelom ni le simbolično. Sloveniji prinaša konkretne ekonomske koristi, tehnološki napredek za majhno odprto gospodarstvo, kot je slovensko. In seveda odpira velika diplomatska vrata https://t.co/9oVFXEQCfA #Izrael #diplomacija #gospodarstvo

Predsednik vlade 🇸🇮 @JJansaSDS se je ob robu 81. zasedanja Generalne skupščine OZN v New Yorku med ostalimi bilateralami srečal tudi s predsednikom vlade 🇮🇱 @netanyahu. Srečanje je potekalo v času okrepljenega političnega dialoga med državama. Odnosi med Slovenijo in Izraelom so bili vse od osamosvojitve tradicionalno prijateljski in to ne glede na dogajanja na Bližnjem vzhodu. Poslabšali so se zgolj v času prejšnje vlade, kar je Sloveniji povzročilo znatno gospodarsko in politično škodo. V tem mandatu sta državi že naredili konkretne korake h krepitvi političnega, gospodarskega, znanstvenega in tehnološkega sodelovanja. Sogovornika sta izrazila zadovoljstvo z normalizacijo odnosov ter se zavzela za njihovo nadaljnjo nadgradnjo s konkretnimi projekti. Posebno pozornost sta namenila znanosti in raziskavam, umetni inteligenci in naprednim tehnologijam, gospodarskemu sodelovanju, investicijam ter turizmu. Prav umetna inteligenca, visoke tehnologije, obramba, raziskave in investicijsko povezovanje sodijo med področja, na katerih državi v zadnjem obdobju prepoznavata velik potencial za okrepljeno sodelovanje. Predsednika vlad sta se strinjala, da je treba dobre politične odnose pretvoriti v nove priložnosti za podjetja, raziskovalne ustanove, investitorje in državljane obeh držav ter spodbujati neposredne povezave med ljudmi. Slovenija in Izrael imata veliko znanja, izkušenj in podjetniškega potenciala. Ustvarjamo pogoje, v katerih se lahko ta potencial poveže in preraste v konkretne rezultate v korist obeh držav in njunih državljanov. Srečanje je potrdilo skupni interes za novo, ambicioznejše obdobje slovensko-izraelskega sodelovanja, usmerjeno v znanje, inovacije, gospodarsko rast in krepitev neposrednih vezi med državama. #Slovenija #Izrael #sodelovanje

Investicijska banka Goldman Sachs je investirala 12 milijard $ v razvoj izraelskega računalniškega podjetja CYERA.

🇺🇳 #UNGA81 Včeraj sem v New Yorku začel zasedanje Generalne skupščine OZN s številnimi srečanji in razpravami. V ospredju so bili podpora demokratičnim prizadevanjem beloruskega ljudstva, krepitev čezatlantskega partnerstva ter iskanje novih priložnosti za gospodarsko in digitalno sodelovanje. Veseli me, da smo s predstavniki ZDA, Kanade in podjetja ServiceNow izmenjali poglede na ključne globalne izzive ter možnosti za nadaljnje sodelovanje. Na srečanju Skupine prijateljev Zahodnega Balkana smo govorili o varnosti, povezovanju regije in pomenu nadaljnje širitve Evropske unije.🇸🇮 Slovenija bo tudi v prihodnje dejavna in odgovorna partnerica pri krepitvi demokratičnih vrednot, mednarodnega sodelovanja ter stabilne in uspešne evropske prihodnosti. 🇪🇺 #UNGA81 #demokracija #sodelovanje

Organizacija za gospodarsko sodelovanje in razvoj (OECD) opozarja, da mora Slovenija nujno ukiniti davčne ugodnosti, uvesti reforme v prometu ter pospešiti zmanjšanje emisij toplogrednih plinov, da bi dosegla svoje podnebne cilje, hkrati pa predlaga ukinitev vinjete in uvedbo cestninjenja po prevoženi razdalji. #onesnaženje #podnebne_spremembe #emisije

Ukrajina, niste sami. Ob obisku v Kijevu sem to sporočilo, ne samo politikom ampak tudi ljudem, izrekel večkrat. Ob pogovorih z ljudmi, ki so izgubili najbližje in prizorih, ki sem jih videl vsakomur postane jasno, da vojna ni le vprašanje geopolitike. Gre za ljudi, njihove družine, njihove domove in njihovo pravico do svobode in miru. Ukrajinici že peto leto branijo svojo državo. Ne izvajajo terorizma. Samo branijo mednarodno priznane meje in svojo suverenost. Hkrati pa branijo tudi vrednote, na katerih temelji svobodna, demokratična in varna Evropa za katero smo se pred 35 leti na plebiscitu odločili tudi mi Slovenci. Zato je podpora Ukrajini več kot politično stališče. Je izraz solidarnosti, odgovornosti in prepričanja, da se mednarodno pravo, svoboda in mir ne smejo nikoli jemati kot samoumevni.🇸🇮 Slovenija bo še naprej stala ob 🇺🇦 Ukrajini – s politično podporo, humanitarno pomočjo in konkretnim sodelovanjem. Ker je v času preizkušenj najpomembneje vedeti, da nisi sam. 🇸🇮🤝🇺🇦 #Ukrajina #solidarnost #mir

Ukrajina, niste sami. Včeraj sem v Kijevu to sporočilo izrekel večkrat. Ne kot diplomatsko frazo, temveč kot jasno zavezo Slovenije.Dan smo začeli s srečanjem s predsednikom Volodimirjem Zelenskim, nadaljevali s položitvijo cvetja in bilateralnimi pogovori o prihodnosti Ukrajine ter evropski varnosti. Nagovoril sem tudi udeležence ob začetku novega študijskega leta Diplomatske akademije, se srečal s predstavniki humanitarnih organizacij in razpravljal o nadaljnji podpori Ukrajini.Dan smo zaključili z ogledom posledic ruskega raketiranja Kijeva. Ob takšnih prizorih postane jasno, da vojna ni le vprašanje geopolitike.
