Janez Jansa

Janez Jansa is a Slovenian politician, known for his ultraconservative and nationalist views. He previously served as Prime Minister. He is often compared to Viktor Orban and has also been described as having 'Trumpist' tendencies. Jansa is currently the leader of the opposition. He is newsworthy because he recently lost the parliamentary elections to Robert Golob, leader of the center-left Freedom Movement. While Golob's party narrowly won the most seats, Jansa's party also secured a significant number, potentially allowing him to attempt to form a conservative coalition. Despite setbacks for the far-right in other European countries, Jansa remains a relevant figure in Slovenian politics, representing a significant portion of the electorate and potentially influencing the country's future political direction.
