The Slovenian Parliament approved the center-right government led by Janez Jansa. The 15-member cabinet started its duty with 49 votes to 30.
Jansa said the new cabinet would represent the entire country. He emphasized that the ministers were selected from different generations and various segments of Slovenia.
Coalition balance
The government was built on a structure dominated by Jansa's SDS party. The cabinet also included names from coalition partners NSi, Democrats, and Focus parties.
The fifth partner, SLS, did not receive a ministry. Nevertheless, the total number of seats of the five-party coalition in parliament reaches 43.
The government also has the support of the right-wing Resnica party, which is not officially part of it. Members of parliament representing national minorities also supported the cabinet.
Message on tax, spending, and corruption
In his speech in parliament, Jansa described the ministers as experienced managers. He also promised to reduce the burden described as "record-level tax," shrink bureaucracy, and delegate more authority to local governments.
The new government's program highlights tax cuts, targeted public spending, and fighting corruption. The cabinet is expected to take steps on these issues in the upcoming period.
Foreign policy is changing direction
Analysts indicate that the Jansa government may shift to a different line in foreign policy compared to the previous administration. The previous liberal government recognized the state of Palestine and imposed travel bans on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and two far-right ministers.
Jansa said he would invite opposition parties next week to a partnership to help prepare fundamental laws. He called on the opposition saying, "The hand has been extended, but cooperation requires both sides."
