Written by Petra Janša
After the national elections in March this year, in which the Freedom Movement of Robert Goloba for Hair maintained the status of a relative winner, but failed to form a coalition due to the loss of parliamentary seats, SDS President Janez Janša won the leadership of the negotiations and the mandate to form the 16th Slovenian government.
After several weeks of intensive, but responsible and substantive negotiations with the National Socialists, the SLS, Fokus and Demokrat Anžeta Logara, Prime Minister Janez Janša last Thursday officially submitted a list of 15 candidates for ministers to the National Assembly. This is not just a list of names this is the team that Slovenia urgently needs after four years of the Golob government, full of corruption scandals, economic decline, demographic collapse, energy crisis, collapse of public health and loss of sovereign foreign policy. With this step, Janez Janša has once again shown that he is ready to take responsibility in one of the most difficult periods after the conquest of Slovenia. The coalition of the SDS, the SDS, Fokus and Demokrat trio is stable and represents the former right-wing majority, which will remain ahead of Slovenia's economic development, without national security, and without pride. The New Democracy government will have 15 candidates in the list, but despite the transition of the SDS, the SDS will be one of the seven ministers on the list, while the SDS will decide on the list of four ministers from the SZ today.
Expert, experienced and fully committed to Slovenia
The ministerial team of Janez Janša is not composed on the basis of political trade or ideological preferences, but exclusively according to the criteria of professionalism, proven experience and unwavering commitment to the national interests of the Republic of Slovenia. This is a team that has already proven in the past to be able to lead the country through the worst trials from the financial and migration to the health and energy crisis. In contrast to the amateurs of Golob, who pushed Slovenia into historical debts, high inflation, record bureaucracy and complete chaos in four years, Janša's team brings the continuity of successful and tested policies from the period 2020-2022. At that time, despite the pandemic, Slovenia achieved a record economic growth and the lowest unemployment rate in the history of independent countries and became one of the most successful examples of crisis management in Europe.
We start with the SDS quota, which takes over finance, internal affairs, foreign and European affairs, education, environment and space, culture and an office for Slovenes in exile and around the world. The Minister of Finance will be Andrej Šircelj, a renowned financier and an experienced former minister, who will have to stop Golob's wasteful policy of subsidizing green follies and socialist experiments and introduce a strict fiscal discipline that will return Slovenia among the economically stable countries of the European Union. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Public Administration will be joined by Franci Matoz a lawyer with decades of experience in (illegal) state law and the fight against criminality. Matoz will ensure that the police and state administration will once again serve exclusively the interests of the people and not the ideological and competitive forces of the state, and the political network of the state will be transformed into a global network, which will transform Slovene democracy in spite of the government's subsidization of green follies and socialist experiments and will have to introduce a strict fiscal discipline that will return Slovenia among the economically stable countries of the European Union. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Public Administration will be headed by Franci Matoz a lawyer with decades of experience and experience.
Strong support for the centre-right
Anže Logar, the future Minister of Economy, Labour and Sport, will use the diplomatic experience of the former Foreign Minister to open the door to foreign and domestic investments. Logar will drastically reduce bureaucracy, strongly support Slovenian companies and ensure that Slovenia is again attractive for capital and the creation of highly productive jobs. The Ministry of Health will be taken over by Tadej Ostrc, a top expert in his field, who will immediately begin to solve the catastrophic chaos of waiting lists and systematic destruction of the modern public health system, similar to the one from the period of the Golobov government. The Minister of Justice will be replaced by Jermaine Miha Zupanka, an experienced and experienced legal expert, who will open the door to foreign and domestic investments with his diplomatic experience and experience.
