Slovenia’s right-wing government is expected to double down on its agenda after losing two out of four plebiscites this month, but civil society says it is ready to fight a drift into ‘authoritarianism’.

A free press in Slovenia is at risk from the return to office of the populist Janez Jansa and media ownership changes that are shaking up the sector.

Critics fear Janez Jansa’s new government will be ideologically driven, copy-pasting policies from Trump’s America and Orban’s Hungary.

Veteran right-winger takes up PM's post for fourth time, promising a focus on development, security and completing what he called a 'half-finished' transition to democracy.
