Slovenia shifts pro-Israel stance as Janez Janša returns as PM

Slovenia elected Janez Janša as prime minister on May 22, 2026, winning 51 of 90 parliamentary seats and signaling a major shift toward pro-Israel policy after years of hostility under the previous government; Janša, a long-time Israel ally, has defended Israel’s right to security, floated moving Slovenia’s embassy to Jerusalem, and suggested Slovenia might reconsider its Palestinian independence recognition, though specifics remain unclear.

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.
