TL;DR

Slovenia's caretaker prime minister Robert Golob said his Freedom Movement cannot form a governing coalition after the election, leaving 29 of 90 seats and paving the way for Janez Janša's Slovenian Democratic Party (28 seats) to try to assemble a right-wing government. Golob's party will lead the opposition, while Janša has not yet secured backing to return to power and says he could form a government, stay in opposition, or call new elections. If he succeeds, Janša would rejoin the EU Council as Viktor Orbán is expected to stop attending EU summits; Janša has signaled a Trump-style leadership approach.
