Don’t want to be a conspircy theorist but this smells of an attempt to make him a martyr (false flag or done unwillingly by some 3rd party) to justify iron grip and even stronger attacks on democratic principles. There are also allegations he worked with mafia, so might be that too.
But even if I was wrong, it doesn’t matter as they act just the same - already blaming oposition and the press for it.
We should also take into consideration that if I remember correctly, he or other government official already warned of this happening.
Either way, the fact this would happen in Slovakia is honestly terrifying.
My exact thoughts. They are already using it to atack on oposition and press, fanning the flmes. If this was false flag attack, they would not act differently. Not saying it is. But it smells.
Either way situation in Slovakia will get a whole lot worse.
I have no love for Fico but this is not the way. This will slide Slovakia towards more to the far right - and more quickly. This is also just before EU elections and the ruling parties will absolutely use this (they already are).
Not if he survives. Either way they would get a martyr. It would be brazen tactic for sure. Could be a 3rd party, but alligned with them because they would know this would escalate things here and nudge Slovakia strongly to in the direction it was heading already.
But yes, I understand I should get at least trpple-layered tin foil hat for this.
There are other people in his government who can take over. Easy to rally behind a martyr.
Also he will greatly benefit if he lives, as per the OP edit he is stabilized. Edit: no idea what the source on that is, did notfind this info anywhere
He is a promiment politician (this is his fourth term as Prime Minister) and very popular in the pro-Russian crowd (he is PM for a reason), but I’d not say he has such cult following.
Not looking good, no. Even from the little info we have it is quite clear this was not false flag operation (if it was this would be next level conspiracy shit, Occam’s razor needs to be applied). It was always a stretch.
Why would anyone who is against Fico want to do this is beyond me. This act will makenthe situation much worse, some people in the governemnt and ruling parties are not exactly sane and some of them have bloody eyes. Whatever shit they did until now will be tame compared to what is ahead.
Not sure if a good habbit or just paranoia at this point, but I’m more concious what I touch outside and bring desinfectant to use when I touched too many (or one too frequently touched) things.
Also mask up when therebisntoo many people insiand respiratoty diseases are going strong.
