Slovenian President Borut Pahor on Monday nominated Robert
Golob, head of the center-left Freedom Movement (FM) party, for the
post of prime minister after the FM's landslide victory in the
country's April 24 general election, Trend reports citing Xinhua .
'In official talks with the heads of parliamentary groups I was
able to establish without a doubt that Robert Golob enjoys the
necessary support of parliamentary members to become prime
minister,' Pahor told a news conference.
Parliament now has to confirm Golob with a simple majority and
is expected to do so on Wednesday.
Golob enjoys the support of the FM, which holds 41 out of 90
seats in Parliament, as well as of his coalition partners -- the
Social Democrats with seven seats and the Left with five seats. The
two parliamentary representatives of the country's Italian and
Hungarian minorities also said they would support Golob.
Soon after the vote in Parliament, Golob is scheduled to ask the
lawmakers to confirm his cabinet on June 3.
Golob told the same news conference that his immediate tasks
will include easing the burden of rising energy prices on citizens
and businesses and fighting the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic.
