Right-wing Slovenian politician confirmed as prime minister in shift from liberal government
Janša returns for a fourth term after lawmakers backed him 51-36, ending a post-election stalemate and setting up a second Cabinet vote within 15 days.
- On Friday, the Slovenian Parliament appointed Janez Jansa as prime minister, ending a post-election stalemate in the European Union country following tight elections in March.
- Jansa and his Slovenian Democratic Party signed a coalition agreement last Thursday with centre-right groups including New Slovenia, Democrats, the Slovenian People's Party and Focus, securing 43 seats in the assembly.
- Legislators voted 51-36 to confirm Jansa, marking a shift from the liberal government previously led by former Prime Minister Robert Golob, whose Freedom Movement failed to secure a majority.
- During the session, Golob criticized the appointment, calling Jansa "the greatest threat to Slovenia's sovereignty and democracy" and alleging his "idea of democracy is that anyone who dares speak a word against you deserves only the worst."
- Jansa must return to Parliament within 15 days to confirm his future Cabinet; an admirer of President Donald Trump, he has promised to lower taxes for the rich and support private education and healthcare.
