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 Party of Green actions (Z.DEJ). At the January congress, Robert Golob was elected as the party's first president and the party received its new identity and name.[8]

In its first parliamentary election, the party placed first, obtaining 41 of the 90 seats in the National Assembly,[9] which is a record for a single party in the history of independent Slovenia. Chairman Robert Golob subsequently became Prime Minister of Slovenia, heading the Golob Cabinet in coalition with the Social Democrats and The Left.[10] Shortly after the elections, the Party of Alenka Bratušek and List of Marjan Šarec merged into the party.[11][12][13]
