Slovenia’s opposition filed a constitutional impeachment motion against Prime Minister Janez Jansa, saying he has failed to order enough vaccines for the nation and is hurting the freedoms of media and the judiciary.

The government has been under increased pressure and has faced months-long protests, a failed no-confidence motion in February and five minister impeachments, three of them in March alone.
