On the occasion, the prime minister announced, as quoted by his office, that he would insist on devising and introducing changes that will improve the lives of citizens.
"I often talk about courage, because courage is a value and a commitment for our government," Golob said, noting the initiated reforms of the healthcare system and the public sector wage system and starting points to change the tax system.
"These are areas where courage for more thorough and comprehensive measures has been lacking for many years. Courage is needed not only for making, but also for an honest and sincere comparison of different views," he added.
Only open and clear dialogue will lead to well thought-out and functioning solutions, which will be adopted with the broadest possible consensus and will happiness and well-being of the current and future generations, the prime minister said.
"Together we have knowledge, wisdom and understanding. And we have the energy to persevere. After all, staying on the right, good path, no matter how difficult it is, is also an important part of the message of Easter," he added.
The prime minister wished all people for these days to be "imbued with hope, family happiness, optimism and love".
He reminded people not to not forget the weakest ones - the poor, the sick, the lonely - during the holidays. "Joy is greater when it is shared: let us rejoice in life, rejoice in the new spring," he concluded.
