Slovenia’s Janša launches Trump-style pivot with pro‑US stance and Jerusalem embassy plan

Slovenia’s Prime Minister Janez Janša, in a fourth term after assembling a coalition, signals a Trump-style realignment: reversing the Golob government’s policies, pushing pro-business reforms, privatization moves in health and education, pension reform, downsizing government, and big-infrastructure bets including a second Krško reactor; he leans on stronger U.S. ties, backs Ukraine with more aid and Russia sanctions, and has promoted hardline anti-immigrant policies, drawing criticism as a potential threat to Slovenia’s sovereignty.

Slovenia’s Janša Returns to Power, Reverses Leftist Policy and Embraces Israel and a Trump-style Immigration Stance

Slovenia’s veteran PM Janez Janša forms a coalition to start a new term, rolling back the Golob government’s left-leaning agenda with pro-business reforms, privatization, pension and infrastructure plans, and a second Krško reactor, while reversing anti-Israel policies (moving the Slovenian embassy to Jerusalem, freezing Palestinian state recognition, resuming arms trade) and adopting a tougher, Trump-style approach to immigration along with closer Western ties.

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.

Hung parliament looms as Slovenia's liberals and conservatives tie in election

With about 99% of ballots counted, Slovenia's liberal Freedom Movement led by Robert Golob (28.5%) and the conservative SDS led by Janez Jansa (28.1%) are neck-and-neck in the 90-seat parliament, meaning no party has a majority and future government will depend on smaller parties in coalition talks; Golob expresses cautious optimism about forming a government, while Jansa warns of potential instability amid earlier controversy over foreign interference allegations.

Slovenia’s Liberal Bloc Narrowly Surges Ahead in Election Marred by Spy Allegations

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.
