The joint list of the Democrats (SDS) and People’s Party (SLS) won 26.5% of the vote and three MEPs in Sunday’s EU election. The coalition Social Democrats (SD) and Marjan Šarec List (LMŠ) got two MEP’s each with 18.6% and 15.6%, respectively, with the opposition New Slovenia getting 11.1% and one MEP seat.
MEPs Milan Zver, Romana Tomc and Franc Bogovič won re-election on the SDS+SLS slate and Tanja Fajon was re-elected MEP for the SD, but the remaining four will be novices.
Somewhat surprisingly, Milan Brglez, former speaker of parliament, was elected second MEP from the SD slate thanks to preferential votes.
