Prime Minister Janez Janša survived an impeachment vote in parliament last night.
42 deputies voted in favour and 44 against after nearly ten hours of debate. A 46-vote majority would have been required to impeach him.

Centre-left coalition parties accused the PM of violating several articles of the Constitution and laws related to healthcare, media, prosecution and human and constitutional rights.

Janša who was absent in the beginning dismissed the impeachment motion against him, by saying that Slovenia was ahead of a bright future, denying claims by the opposition, that the country was in for a disaster.
Meanwhile, Slovenia remains in tier yellow of coronavirus restrictions. It comes despite meeting the conditions for the green tier, where most restrictions would be lifted.
