OPENING AUTHORITY (ΚΑΙΝΟΥΡΓΙΑ ΑΡΧΗ)

The digital age that should mark people’s improved and more comfortable lives has shifted a balance of modern human beings. Any real feeling and experience is now considered obsolete and anything we are new to try, banal. Social networks determine our relationships, which either do not expand or do not evolve to a large extent in their absence. At the same time, society suffers from difficult economic problems. Corrupt governments of states could only bring the situation to the end of the barley. A barbour that can only be crossed with real values. But also. Ethical principles are missing from governments, civil servants, education, young people from all over the world. Every act is considered normal as long as it satisfies our egoism. And if this egoism leads to at least one subtle spiritual investigation or an attempt to rehabilitate the labour market, we are lucky. Because most of them imitate the prominence and dreams. Most try to win the beauty when it should not have a place in their lives. What beauty do we talk to? Each defines it differently. The issue is that what is now considered to be a “coul” is often the one that destroys the whole. But everything is good! The cigarettes in each recess are scattered, such as margarites on a mountain pasture, and the graffiti are fired in the urban galleries, making a spectacle... What beautiful our cities are! Car smoke does not disturb us. Forgotten bins do not tempt us. It is enough that our cities are not flooded by climate change. It is enough that COP27 did not discuss us at all, but about something bitter African farmers who cannot feed their children.

If at least half of these problems could be solved by 2040, I would be happy. But we will find the values to bridge the gap between modern realities and real life?

Prosperity and satisfaction for all (Blaginja in zadovoljstvo za vse)
In the future, I want prosperity and the satisfaction of as many people as possible in different areas of life. As a young person, I am very concerned about things like climate change, precarious work, housing crisis (specific situation in Slovenia),... I want people to live more friendlessly, with a fair salary and pension, various insurances, when you need some help, to find it and to get it. I believe that job and financial satisfaction also contributes to a more happy life in general, when we have more time and the chance to do things in our leisure time. But it also contributes to a better image of society as a whole.

Join forces! (S skupnimi močmi!)
It seems very important to me that we start slowly returning ‘back to time’, reverting to the community and ‘home’ the individualisation that the modern world requires of us. I believe that we are in the world to survive together – in the sense that not everyone works alone, but it is very important to interdependency from humans and to rely on each other. Everyone would contribute to society which would make up some of the necessary livelihoods. They would live in some kind of shared housing dependent on self-sufficiency and natural resources – i.e. surrounded by nature. I would not go to the job/after corrections each with his own car, but would share or make good bus/rail lines to make it easier to travel. We would resist a capitalist way of thinking that gradually leads society into a divide. People would have the opportunity to stop and breathe, look to themselves and each other. Everyone would have the right to life, a variety of minorities that are often overlooked, LGBTQ+ groups that are oppressed – it would essentially be a borderless world, as the border is an imaginary concept that inspires hatred and nationalism. It would not be absurd who and what we are, because we would all strive for equality and a beautiful tomorrow. In short, it is difficult to describe – but the whole system would work differently. Schools would learn something essential to survival and think outside the contexts in which we need to think today.

Safe and fair (Varno in pravično)
In view of my age in 20 years, I am particularly keen to have good health care and high-quality and accessible care for older people. I am not forgotten but also young people – I want social and economic security for them, jobs, access to housing...

A sustainable future (Trajnostna prihodnost)
Agriculture is a particularly important area for me. 20 years later, I would like the food chain to be decentralised in order to build a lot of more local producers (where they can of course) in order for agricultural policy to start thinking about regenerative and sustainable agriculture. I believe that this would increase humanity’s safety and improve the health picture of the whole population. Defensively, seed banks should separate themselves from the pharmaceutical giants currently operating with seed banks (Bayern). The profession must also address the question of the extent to which a healthy diet can actually improve human health in the long term.
