The winner of last weekend parliamentary vote in Slovenia says he hopes to have a new government formed by mid-June
LJUBLJANA, Slovenia -- The winner of last weekend's parliamentary election in Slovenia said Tuesday he hopes to have a new government formed by mid-June.
Robert Golob, the leader of the Freedom Movement party, spoke after meeting with President Borut Pahor. The meeting was Golob’s first public appearance since he had tested positive for COVID-19 days before Sunday's vote.
Golob, a former business executive who only entered politics several months ago, is set to become Slovenia's next prime minister. Golob's Freedom Movement convincingly won the election, defeating the right-wing Slovenian Democratic Party of current Prime Minister Janez Jansa.
Freedom Movement, a liberal-green party, is expected to form a coalition government with two other center-left groups: the Social Democrats and the Left party.
