In March 2020, Janez Janša was appointed as the Prime Minister of Slovenia for the third time, leading a coalition government that included the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS), the Modern Centre Party (SMC), New Slovenia (NSi), and the Pensioners' Party (DeSUS). Janša, a prominent figure in Slovenian politics, is recognized for his right-wing populist stance and has been an outspoken supporter of former US President Donald Trump and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. His leadership has been characterized by a focus on national sovereignty, economic reform, and a strong stance on immigration. Janša's return to power came during a challenging period marked by the global COVID-19 pandemic, which required decisive governance and effective crisis management. His administration's approach to the pandemic and its implications for public health and the economy have been closely scrutinized, reflecting the complexities of leading a nation during unprecedented times. As he embarks on this new term, Janša's policies and political strategies will be pivotal in shaping Slovenia's future and its role within the European Union. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #JanezJanša #Slovenia #PrimeMinister #Right-wingPopulism #Covid-19
