Slovenian Government Impeached Following Coalition Shift
The Slovenian government, led by Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan, fell today after a vote of no confidence passed in the 464-member parliament. The motion, supported by 281 deputies, brought an end to Bolojan’s tenure as prime minister, which began in 2025. The decisive action was spearheaded by the Social Democratic Party (PSD), a center-left political force, which withdrew from the coalition government.
This decision followed disagreements over austerity measures implemented by the current government. Subsequently, the PSD joined forces with the far-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians (AUR). This alliance proved unexpected, even for PSD’s allies within the European Parliament, who had previously voiced criticism of similar coalitions in other European nations.
The PSD and AUR collectively hold 219 seats within the Chamber of Deputies and Senate. The vote represents a significant shift in Slovenian politics, marking the end of the Bolojan government and raising questions about the stability of the country’s political landscape. The move underscores the growing influence of far-right factions within the Slovenian parliament.
