Parliamentary elections take place in Slovenia

Ukrinform
On Sunday, March 22, Slovenia is holding parliamentary elections.

According to Ukrinform, DW stated this in an article.

The vote largely comes down to a confrontation between incumbent Prime Minister Robert Golob and his liberal party Freedom Movement, and opposition leader Janez Jansa, who has served as prime minister three times, along with his Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS).

The race is expected to be very tight, and neither camp is likely to secure a majority in the 90-seat parliament. In that case, smaller parties will play a decisive role in forming a coalition.

These elections are also significant for the European Union. Golob and his government support the liberal agenda of most EU countries, while Jansa and the SDS align more closely with the policies of Hungarian leader Viktor Orban and follow the style of U.S. President Donald Trump, whom Janša has previously admired. Slovenia joined the EU and NATO in 2004.

As Ukrinform reported, in January, Slovenia's President Natasa Pirc Musar signed a decree to hold parliamentary elections in the country on March 22.
