Slovenia Braces for Veteran Right-Winger’s Radical Agenda

Slovenian politician Janez Jansa, a veteran right-winger, has returned to power by forming a coalition described as the most right-wing government in Slovenia's history. The coalition includes Jansa's SDS, the breakaway Democrats of Anze Logar, the Christian Democratic NSi-led list, the Slovene People's Party, and the conservative Fokus. Despite having a narrow majority, Jansa's government is expected to last a full term and has already taken steps to implement divisive policies and challenge the social welfare system.

Slovenian populist stalwart Janez Jansa has made a comeback to power after forming what has been described as the most right-wing government in the country’s history.

Jansa’s coalition is expected to have good prospects of lasting a full four-year term, despite having to rely on the five MPs of the eurosceptic, pro-Kremlin Resni.ca party, resnica meaning “truth”, which is not officially part of the coalition.

Although it has only a narrow majority in the new parliament, Jansa has swiftly resorted to divisive ideological motions alongside moves to undermine the social welfare state.

The new ruling coalition consists of Jansa’s SDS, its breakaway party, the Democrats of Anze Logar, and the Christian Democratic NSi-led list, which also includes the agrarian Slovene People’s Party, SLS, and the conservative Fokus.
