Slovenia’s Liberal Bloc Narrowly Surges Ahead in Election Marred by Spy Allegations
TL;DR
Slovenia’s vote produced a razor-thin result: Golob’s Freedom Movement won 29 of 90 seats (28.6%) to Janša’s SDS with 28 seats (28%), sending the next government to coalitions among seven parties. The campaign was dominated by alleged election interference and illegal surveillance linked to a private firm, highlighting tensions over liberal democracy amid a European drift toward illiberal populism.
