Slovenia's intelligence agency has confirmed foreign interference in the recent parliamentary elections, with evidence linking the private intelligence firm Black Cube to the activities. The elections, held on March 26, 2026, saw the ruling Freedom Movement narrowly win against the opposition Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS). Videos surfaced during the campaign, allegedly showing government officials discussing unethical practices, which were purportedly leaked by foreign operatives. Key figures from Black Cube, including Giora Eiland and Dan Zorella, were identified as having visited Slovenia in December 2025 to influence the election. The Slovenian government has handed over evidence to law enforcement, prompting calls for an EU investigation. Prime Minister Golob has condemned the interference, while the SDS leader has acknowledged contacts with Black Cube but denies wrongdoing. The situation has raised significant concerns about foreign influence in democratic processes.
