Slovenia's oldest party eyes comeback with first female leader

A party that used to make and break Slovenian governments, the Slovenian People's Party (SLS) is looking to carve its way back into the national parliament under a new leader. Tina Bregant, a 49-year-old paediatrician, was elected the party's first female leader at a congress.

A successor to the Farmers' Union, Slovenia's oldest party, the SLS has been on the margins of national politics since it was squeezed out of parliament in the 2014 election. In the 2024 EU elections, the party also lost its member in the European Parliament , DHA Press quotes CE Report.
