"The government – okay, governments, we've had quite a few of them in this time – should have sounded the red alert. Just like it did when Slovenia was hit by the ice calypso. The crisis also hit with the force of a natural disaster. Ask that vast army of the laid-off, the unemployed, the devastated, the bankrupt, the disheartened, the humiliated and the forgotten. But ironically: Slovenian governments have responded to the crisis in exactly the opposite way they did to the ice calypso. Well, imagine if the government had told people shivering in the twilight of the ice calypso: we're going to tighten your belts right now! We're going to introduce strict austerity measures for you now!"
"We will now strip you of your social rights! Or imagine if we told them: your property – the houses you are huddled in – we will now quickly sell to foreigners, you know, foreign investors, good businessmen, so that we can finance the removal of fallen trees and your reconnection to electricity!"
