Slovenia's parliament has approved Prime Minister Janez Jansa's centre-right government, marking a shift in the country's political landscape. The vote saw 49 lawmakers in favor and 30 against, confirming the 15-member cabinet. The government is formed by a five-party coalition, with most ministers hailing from Jansa's SDS party, alongside partners NSi, Democrats, and Focus. The SLS party, also a coalition partner, did not secure a ministerial post. Jansa, who secured a fourth term after an inconclusive March election, pledged to implement tax cuts, targeted spending initiatives, and a strong anti-corruption drive. He also indicated a potential shift in foreign policy compared to the previous liberal administration led by Robert Golob. Jansa extended an offer to opposition parties to collaborate on drafting key legislation, emphasizing a desire for broad cooperation.
