Following the departure of the leftist Slovenian government on Jan. 27, Janez Janša, an ally of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, has managed to form a coalition that will finally put him in the prime minister's seat after having won the 2018 elections.
Although Janša's Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) party won the 2018 election with the largest number of seats (25) in the 90-seat national assembly, he was unable to form a majority government in the fragmented legislature, which currently has nine parties and representative each of the Hungarian and Italian ethnic minority.
Eventually the former actor and comedian Marjan Šarec, the leader of the second-placed party with 13 MPs, formed a minority left-wing government, which collapsed last month.
Following a month of horse-trading, President Borut Pahor assigned Janša to form a new government which has forged a four-party coalition with 48 votes, thus the approval of the new government in parliament should be a "foregone conclusion".
