There was an important election in Slovenia. People voted for a new parliament. The liberal Freedom Movement got the most votes. Their leader is Robert Golob. He will likely stay the head of government.

The election was very close. The right-wing SDS party got almost the same number of votes. Its leader is Janez Janša. He was head of government before. Janša often criticized minority groups during the election campaign. He spoke badly about the group of Roma.

Robert Golob wants to work with other parties. He needs partners for a majority in the parliament. Voter turnout was high. Many people went to vote. The result shows a divided country.
