Slovenian PM Janša Condemns UN Bias, Secures Trump Visit Promise

Slovenia ready for fourth term as Janša gains coalition backing for PM bid

Slovenia’s parliament is set to vote on Janez Janša’s bid to become prime minister, backed by enough coalition MPs to form a government, potentially giving Janša his fourth term after last March’s elections left a fragile majority; Janša is a nationalist and anti-immigration figure seen as an admirer of Trump, and his return could shift EU populist dynamics.

Slovenia stalls on forming a government as Janša edges toward a right-wing coalition

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.
