Response from the competent authority: "Reply from the Office for Macroeconomic Analysis\
  \ and Development:\r\nThe initiative to introduce a Universal Basic Income (UBI),\
  \ which would be a fixed amount for each individual, goes back a long way in history,\
  \ but has rarely been put into practice. Thus, even the EU countries with the highest\
  \ quality of life (Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Ireland, Austria, etc.) are addressing\
  \ the issue of social protection in different ways.\r\nIn Slovenia, as in other\
  \ countries, the problem of the weakest groups of the population is addressed through\
  \ a wide range of social transfers. The possible introduction of a universal basic\
  \ income would require a radical change in the welfare state as we know it today.\
  \ This would require an exhaustive and lengthy social debate among all social groups\
  \ and a broad political consensus.\r\nFurther analysis of the financial sustainability\
  \ of the UBI and its level could be obtained by the Government of the Republic of\
  \ Slovenia once the above-mentioned social and political consensus has been reached,\
  \ after which the basic assumptions about the sources of funding and the beneficiaries\
  \ of the UBI would also be known. Without these basic assumptions, however, in-depth\
  \ analyses are not meaningful.\r\n "
