MADRID, 23 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Former Slovenian Foreign Minister Anze Logar is the top favorite to win the first round of the presidential elections taking place this Sunday in the country, and considered in a way as a benchmark for Euroscepticism in the country.
Logar, 46, a member of former Prime Minister Janez Jansa’s Slovenian Democratic Party, is the top contender for an almost ceremonial position except for a few outstanding skills in the Army and appointments to positions such as Governor of the Central Bank.
The former minister has based his popularity on distancing himself from the PDE’s policies to the point that a good part of the population considers him practically an independent with a sense of state, far from the figure of Jansa, at the time considered one of the great European champions of ultra-nationalist populism represented in the figure of former President Donald Trump.
The latest poll by Ninamedia for the newspaper Vecer, collected by the Slovenia Times portal, gives Logar 31.7 percent of the vote, far from the 50 percent needed for direct victory.
Therefore, it is most likely that Logar will face each other in two weeks with the second most voted candidate, which could be the lawyer Natasa Pirc Musar (19.8 percent) or the MEP Milan Brglez (18.6 percent). hundred).
The National Electoral Commission will start publishing the results as soon as the polls close at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday. They hope that the results will be clear enough around 9:00 p.m., the same time in mainland Spain.
