The Freedom Movement (Slovene: Gibanje Svoboda, GS) is a social-liberal political party in Slovenia. It was founded on 26 January 2022, as the successor of the extraparliamentary Green Actions Party (Slovene: Stranka Zelenih Dejanj, Z.DEJ), which was founded on 8 May 2021.
In its first parliamentary election, the party placed first, obtaining 41 of the 90 seats in the National Assembly, which is a record for a single party in the history of independent Slovenia. Its chairman Robert Golob subsequently became Prime Minister of Slovenia, heading the Golob Cabinet in coalition with the Social Democrats and The Left. Shortly after the elections, the Party of Alenka Bratušek and List of Marjan Šarec merged with the party.
