President Emmanuel macron extended congratulations to Robert Golob following his decisive victory in the parliamentary elections, highlighting the Slovenians’ trust in a European, democratic, and progressive direction. Together, they will strive for a Europe remaining faithful to its values, enhanced in sovereignty and strength. The message was shared on X, formally addressing Golob.
In contrast, the leader of the SDS party, Janez Janša, responded to the message in English, stating “Not so fast” – a direct rebuttal. A photograph of the meeting with macron was also included. Valerie Hayer, the leader of the liberal group Renew within the European Parliament, also hailed Golob’s “great victory.” She noted his triumph over the populist project spearheaded by Janez Janša, a key ally of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who employs similar anti-democratic tactics.
It was regrettable that the Slovenian People’s Party had supported this approach. The election outcome underscores the commitment to a stronger, more autonomous European Union.
