Ljubljana – The National Assembly passed the National Demographic Fund bill at second reading last night, tweaking the bill slightly via amendments by the coalition, but voting down a number of amendments tabled by the opposition, including the one exempting the STA from the fund.
Under the government-sponsored bill, the fund is to be created with a restructuring of the Slovenian Sovereign Holding (SSH) and is to take over the management of nearly all state assets.
Every year, the fund is to contribute 40% of dividends and 40% of proceeds into the pension purse, while the rest is to be spent on family policies and elderly care. The MPs endorsed an amendment expanding this list with scholarship policies.
Centre-left seeks referendum on demographic fund bill
3. March, 2021
Ljubljana – Four centre-left opposition parties propose the National Assembly call a consultative referendum on the government-sponsored bill on the National Demographic Fund, arguing its concept is flawed. If their proposal is not adopted, they will initiate a legislative referendum once the bill is passed.
The Marjan Šarec List (LMŠ), Social Democrats (SD), the Left and the Alenka Bratušek Party (SAB) argue the fund will not shore up the public pension fund as is its stated purpose, but give the government centralised control over ownership and management of state assets worth EUR 8.6 billion.
