Slovenia’s PM resigns, calls for snap poll
Daily Sabah :
Slovenian Prime Minister Marjan Sarec announced Monday he would step down and called for fresh elections, following weeks of rising tensions within his minority five-party coalition government.
“With these members of parliament and this
coalition I cannot fulfill people’s expectations,” he told journalists. “The most honest thing we could do now would be early elections… to ask people whether they trust me and they want me to continue to work,” added Sarec, who became prime minister in September 2018 following a previous snap election.
Sarec, 42, is Slovenia’s youngest-ever prime minister. He was best known as a comedian and political satirist before he launched himself as an anti-establishment politician.
