Slovenia braces for most right-wing government in its history under Janez Janša

Saturday, 6 June 2026, 07:03 · 1 min read

Slovenian veteran populist Janez Janša (a three-time prime minister known for polarising politics in the small Central European EU member state) has returned to power at the head of what observers are calling the country's most right-wing government ever. His coalition — comprising his own SDS party, the breakaway Democrats of Anže Logar, and a Christian Democratic-led alliance — holds only a narrow parliamentary majority, relying on informal support from the eurosceptic, pro-Kremlin party Resni.ca. Since taking office, Janša has moved quickly to push divisive ideological motions and roll back elements of the social welfare state, raising concerns about the direction of governance for the full four-year term ahead.
