US EditionSlovenia's ruling Freedom Movement set to win parliamentary vote - exit poll
Freedom Movement led by Robert Golob projects about 30 of 90 seats, needing coalition partners amid a campaign marred by foreign interference allegations.
- On March 22, 2026, Prime Minister Robert Golob's Freedom Movement led an exit poll with 29.9%, winning 30 seats but needing coalition partners after dropping from 41. TV Slovenia and Pop TV published the results.
- A civil society group, investigative journalist, and two researchers claimed on Monday that Black Cube was behind videos linked to Jansa's SDS, amid earlier allegations this month.
- Authorities' probes and Jansa's admission of contact provide concrete strands to the allegations, with Slovenian authorities saying Black Cube operatives visited Ljubljana four times during the campaign.
- A tight finish will determine whether Slovenia remains centre-left or shifts right, with analysts saying neither Prime Minister Robert Golob nor Janez Jansa will win a clear majority, making smaller parties potential kingmakers.
- Some voters said the scandal influenced the community but not their personal vote, with Petra Kladnik noting it 'had a strong impact on the community but not on my decision today,' while others described difficult choices at the ballot box.
