  general elections in slovenia
Janez Jansa was arrested and convicted to a prison sentence but along with his three companions was freed in 1989 after massive demonstrations organised by the population.
Janez Jansa was also at the head of the defence forces that successfully confronted the Yugoslav army during the short war of independence in Slovenia in June 1991.
In everyone's opinion this incident played in favour of the right, especially Janez Jansa whose determination and strength have proven more reassuring and convincing in the eyes of the population and just as the Slovenes are showing growing disquiet about their identity and their future within the European Union.

Jansa’s elevation to the prime minister’s seat is not in question, nor has it been in the month since the parliamentary elections, which were held on 3 October.
Jansa was held responsible for the incident and dismissed by Drnovsek, who was prime minister at the time.
Jansa opposed the court’s decision, cultivating a nationalist atmosphere that ultimately proved fertile for the “spring parties.” This unsolved issue will probably be Jansa’s most difficult challenge.

Janez Jansa's Slovene Democratic Party held 29 percent of the vote -- six percentage points ahead of Rop's Liberal Democratic Party -- with just over half the vote counted.
Two smaller allies of Jansa's party finished fourth and fifth, but it was unclear whether his center-right coalition would garner enough seats in the 90-seat legislature to form a government without having to court fringe groups.
Jansa, defense minister during Slovenia's 10-day war for independence from the Yugoslav federation, apparently capitalized on his image as a tough leader, who won't easily back down to dictates from foreign powers.

It was addressed by Slovenian European Commissioner Janez Potocnik, the head of the Slovenian Economic and Research Association Boris Cizelj, KBC director general for Central Europe, Marko Voljc and Slovenia's Ambassador to the EU Ciril Stokelj.
Jansa was quick to point out, though, that the state will not stage a complete withdrawal: in banking, for example, it intends to retain its influence as it still wants banks to serve local needs.
