Slovenia’s parliament approves Prime Minister Janez Janša’s centre-right government after an inconclusive election in March. The vote comes as Janša returns to the premiership for a fourth time and forms a cabinet following four years of leadership by liberal Prime Minister Robert Golob. Sources report that Janša’s government pledges tax cuts, targeted spending, and a renewed anti-corruption effort. Janša, described as a pro-Trump populist, secured a fourth term despite the election being inconclusive, and the government is presented as intended to represent the country broadly. The cabinet is said to include ministers from different age groups and from across Slovenia. During the prior legislature, Golob won the election narrowly but was unable to build a coalition with a parliamentary majority, leading to a shorter period of governance before the March poll. With the parliamentary approval, Janša’s administration takes over executive responsibilities under the new centre-right programme.
