Slovenia Weekly: An example of values

The Government has approved the Proposed Act on the Reconstruction and Development Following the August Natural Disaster. The Proposed Act contains around 150 articles, covers a wide range of areas, and is intended to allow for a rapid recovery and normalisation of the situation in the affected areas and to lay the foundations for further development and greater resilience to natural disasters. The measures put in place by the Government to address the key challenges for comprehensive assistance to the affected areas cut across various spheres of society.

The Proposed Act provides for a comprehensive approach to development and reconstruction in a number of areas. This will include administratively speeding up construction, planning and other procedures related to reconstruction and development in the affected areas, arranging for the replacement and relocation construction work, and providing assistance to the population, the economy and the agricultural sector.

On Thursday, Slovenia celebrated a public holiday commemorating 23 November 1918, when General Maister and his army disarmed the German security guards and took military power in Maribor. Since 2005, Rudolf Maister Day has been a public holiday in Slovenia, but it is not a work-free day.

Today, we see General Rudolf Maister as an example and follow the values that our ancestors used to ensure our existence, culture and language, as Prime Minister Robert Golob stressed in his message on the occasion. “Knowledge, freedom, cooperation and solidarity are the cornerstones of our actions and plans. However, we cannot achieve our goals and solve our problems unless we work together,” he added.

    Message from Prime Minister Robert Golob on Rudolf Maister Day

    Today we remember Rudolf Maister. A general of steadfast character and unwavering convictions. A great patriot who, 105 years ago in Maribor, laid historic milestones in the struggle for freedom and, with his fighters, bravely and fearlessly disarmed the German security guards. Together with many teachers, educated, learned and conscious people, he passed on the awareness, ethics and knowledge of freedom to generations.

On World Children's Day, we echo UNICEF's call for peace for every child. Every child has the right to live in peace, in a clean and safe environment. They also have the right to be heard and to participate in the decisions that affect them.
