What consequences after a lost referendum expect a coalition expected
Minister of Culture Asta bag After becoming clear that the SDS had succeeded in reaching a quorum for rejecting the Act on Pension to the Artists, the question of political responsibility said that it had fulfilled it by drafting the current law, which was called for by the Court of Auditors, as well as the financial ministry. « I made my own, but it was rejected by the right with all the lies, the tuition and manipulation, » she stressed, rejecting the possibility of her resignation. Both in the Left and in the Movement Freedom, however, they insisted that their decision to call for their supporters was not wrong.
They disagreed with the Social Democrats – so their president Matjaz Han As a Member Damijan Bezjak I am staring They were clear and labeled him a mistake. “Given the engagement of the proposers, the result does not surprise me. I can say that a boycott was a mistake. If we all got involved in the campaign, the law might be defended. Thus, before the coming elections, Janez Janša only further motivated his base, I think there will be no special political consequences. The coalition, however, will have to consolidate the species to accept the announced changes, « commented Bezjak Zrim, who was particularly concerned about the adoption of the pension reform. The government approved this at the last session and sent it to the National Assembly.
A referendum on the Act on Accessories to Pension to Artists is the third legislative referendum in which the quorum for rejection of the law was achieved. With about 26 % turnout, a good 92 % of voters who came to the referendum were against the law.
Also be taken care of Luka MescaMinister of Labor and former Left Coordinator? “No, it’s an unrelated matter. One is the question of how we reward artists and the other what pensions we will have. Pension reform also improves the situation for pensioners because the system is sustainable, which means that they can count on pensions … For a good part of the pensioners, it also materially improves the situation, and we have also received the consent of the social partners for change, « replies, and emphasizes that the referendum occurred when the last government did not have. However, when SDS Minister Andrej Vizjak received the consent of the social partners, all coalition and opposition MPs supported the changes. « I do not expect them to support her, but I certainly expect that they will not destroy her, » states Mesec, who shares the opinion of his party colleagues that the call for boycott of the referendum was the correct step.

The headquarters pointed out in particular that Materia was at the SDS campaign – by the way, some concerned artists were also stopped at the Left Headquarters, who were interested in showing the referendum – virtually unrecognizable. In all statements, Asta Vrečko emphasized in all statements that it was an attack on culture and announced that in the government, the applications for the allocation of allowances awaiting decision -making would now be considered under the old law of 1974. « This is what SDS wanted, » she said, but did not want to answer the question of how many would be sent to admission to the government.
MP and Vice -President of the National Assembly Nataša Sukic was outraged at the demands of the SDS on abolishing the accessories of artists and urging them to propose to abolish the supplements to athletes.
But the fact is that the SDS managed to turn this referendum into a referendum on support for the government, much like it happened to them in the amendment of the Water Act, where the quorum was also achieved. This time it was only the third time. The coalition itself with Robert Golob At the head, however, she interpreted the results by saying that three -quarters of the eligible voters did not respond to the right hand call today. “Those who opposed the law are not even one quarter. With their lies and manipulations, the right did not convince the majority. This referendum is really nothing but an internal counting of the right for almost seven million public money, « said Golob, who is most likely aware that this referendum will give the opposition additional wings in the pre -election year. The campaign is open.
Even in freedom, they claimed that the boycott was not a mistake. Photo: Črt Piks
