Description
Slovenia has been ruled in recent years by a rickety coalition headed by Janez Janša, who has been a mainstay of Slovenian political life its entire democratic history. Janša is an incredibly controversial figure, who has cuddled up to Viktor Orban and moved towards the radical right. He has a long history of personal corruption and abuse of power. Slovenia has a habit of producing electoral success for new parties. This year was perhaps the most notable example of that habit, with the Freedom Movement of Robert Golob winning the greatest seat haul of any Slovene party since 1990, 41, a mere 5 seats short of a majority. We're joined by Slovenian political analyst Aljaž Pengov Bitenc to break down this extraordinary election).
