Orbán’s ally Janša takes over rotating EU presidency

Orbán’s ally Janša takes over rotating EU presidency — — -Brussels (Brussels Morning) Slovenia assumed the EU’s rotating presidency on Thursday amidst fears that Prime Minister Janez Janša’s apparent disregard for European values could exacerbate the East-West divide within the Union and weaken the rule of law in the bloc.

Known for his increasingly autocratic style of government, Janša was one of the few EU leaders to openly admire former US President Donald Trump, and, like him, is a devotee of Twitter.
