Slovenia’s parliament approves Janez Jansa as prime minister

Slovenia’s parliament has voted to reinstate right-wing politician Janez Jansa as prime minister, marking a shift from the previous liberal government. The vote concluded a post-election stalemate, with Jansa’s Slovenian Democratic Party forming a coalition with several centre-right groups, securing 43 seats. Jansa, who has previously served as prime minister multiple times, plans to focus on economic reform, corruption, and decentralization, while facing scrutiny over past democratic and press freedom issues.
