.@jelka_godec ‼️ 10–12 MILIJONOV EVROV. O TEM JE GOVORA. Ne o denarju, ki ga ljudje prostovoljno namenijo gasilcem, Karitasu, Rdečemu križu ali drugim organizacijam. Ta sredstva ostajajo tam, kamor jih namenijo davčni zavezanci. FURS bo za leto 2025 iz dela dohodnine razdelil 19,3 milijona evrov. Ločeno od tega je 10–12 milijonov evrov nerazporejenega dela dohodnine. To je denar, ki ga ljudje niso namenili nobenemu upravičencu. Predlog predvideva, da bi se ta sredstva namesto skladu za razvoj NVO namenila novemu skladu za zdravljenje redkih bolezni otrok. Zato je treba govoriti z dejstvi. Nihče ne jemlje denarja, ki ga ljudje namenijo gasilcem, Karitasu ali Rdečemu križu. Govorimo o nerazporejenih 10–12 milijonih evrov. Poglejmo številke. Brez zavajanja. 🇸🇮 #Evro #Dohodnina #OtroškeBolezni
