Request for an urgent meeting of the Finance Committee due to the 'irresponsible management of public finances' under the Golob government

A group of parliamentary factions including SDS, NSi, SLS, Fokus, Demokrati, and Resni.ca have submitted a request for an urgent session of the Finance Committee, accusing the current government led by Dr. Robert Golob of mismanaging public finances. The petition highlights concerns over fiscal irresponsibility, lack of transparency, and wasteful spending under Golob’s administration. They point to specific examples such as the purchase of over 13,000 laptops stored unused in a warehouse, controversial purchases of buildings, and inflated infrastructure projects. Meanwhile, essential local projects like water supply, roads, and healthcare facilities have stalled due to insufficient funding. The groups criticize the government for allocating funds abroad for projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Zambia, and other countries while failing to support domestic needs. They also cite increased spending on migration-related costs and note that the new government under Janez Janša was informed of significant budget deficits. The report includes data showing a sharp rise in expenditures compared to previous years and raises concerns about the inefficient use of European Union funds.
