Slovenia's president calls parliamentary election for March 22
The March 22 vote will decide if the centre-left coalition retains power amid rising populist right-wing opposition in the 90-seat Slovenian Parliament, officials said.
- On Jan 6, President Nataša Pirc-Musar signed a decree calling a parliamentary election for March 22 in Slovenia, formally starting the campaign period in the NATO and European Union member state.
- The vote is seen as a test for the liberal government since June 2022, when Prime Minister Robert Golob's centre-left coalition defeated Janez Janša.
- Post-Election, by law Parliament must convene within 20 days; Pirc-Musar said she will award the mandate to the candidate with 46 votes and has 30 days to appoint a prime minister-designate.
- Pirc-Musar urged fair conduct and vigilance against disinformation, appealing to political parties and media to keep rhetoric calm and focus on societal solutions.
- The Alpine country of 2 million faces a contentious vote after a November assisted-dying referendum rejection and Prime Minister Robert Golob’s government recognised a Palestinian state amid economic criticism.
