Overview
- Golob, who told the president Monday he could not form a coalition, said his Freedom Movement will move into opposition.
- Official results left the 90-seat parliament split, with the Freedom Movement on 29 seats and Janša’s SDS on 28, so no bloc holds a majority.
- Janša is expected to try to build a right‑wing coalition, yet he said the SDS is not forming a government now and that it is ready for new elections.
- Earlier this month, SDS votes helped elect Resni.ca leader Zoran Stevanović as speaker, a move widely read as a sign of populist cooperation.
- By law, President Nataša Pirc Musar must nominate a prime minister-designate within 30 days of April 10, and if that pick fails, parties get 10 days to propose another; should Janša prevail, he would return to the European Council.
