Prime minister of Croatia since 19 October 2016; third cabinet from 17 May 2024 (Wikidata Q11685764); still incumbent on 4 September 2026. The through-line is Lex Agrokor, an HDZ–Homeland Movement coalition, and the 15 November 2024 dismissal of Vili Beroš after an EPPO health-procurement file. A living ruler is scored on those instruments, not as a Brussels sticker.
Ariel Sharon was found personally responsible by Israel's Kahan Commission in 1983 for ignoring the danger of the Sabra and Shatila massacre, and resigned as defence minister (Human Rights Watch). In September 2000 his visit to the Temple Mount was followed by protests that escalated into the Second Intifada (Wikipedia). As prime minister he evacuated all Gaza settlements in 2005. Bottom line: a general and politician defined by Sabra and Shatila.
President of Pakistan since 10 March 2024, after an electoral-college vote of 411 to 181 on 9 March (Wikidata Q57373); earlier president 2008–2013. The through-line is a PPP patronage presidency inside military-tutored coalition politics: a contested 2003 Geneva money-laundering sentence later set aside, a 2024 return after a disputed poll, and assent to the 26th Amendment. shehbaz sharif is the live prime minister. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is unresolved.
Transitional president of Mali since 28 May 2021 (Wikidata Q98497406). The through-line is junta rule plus the AES break: a second coup, a Constitutional Court investiture, the 16 September 2023 Liptako-Gourma Charter, then the 28 January 2024 ECOWAS withdrawal — not a pan-African clerk. Still in office at apply.
Balázs Hankó is a product of Fidesz's capture of higher education: Semmelweis vice-rector in 2018, deputy state secretary for higher education from August 2020 (Medical Online), then Minister of Culture and Innovation from 1 July 2024 (BBJ). His ministry now sits under a cloud: investigative outlet Átlátszó reports that a culture fund was hijacked into a financing leg for Orbán's international influence network (Átlátszó), and Telex reported an arrest involving his chief of staff. Bottom line: a loyal apparatchik whose portfolio became a slush-fund story.
Prime minister of Belgium since 3 February 2025 (Wikidata Q562589); N-VA president and first Flemish nationalist to hold the federal premiership. The through-line is the 9 June 2024 election, the 31 January 2025 Arizona coalition, and a programme Reuters recorded as reducing immigration and time-limiting unemployment benefits. Still PM at apply. Not a mere institutional reformer without a nationalism file.
