    Which is supper weird because Fico is strongly pro-Russian.

      When you talk to Slovakians they say that his death would be one of the best things to happen to the pro putin movement, as this would make him a martyr.

      I personally wonder how it will be as it looks like he survived and these news paint an interesting picture.

        I think he will very much paint himself a martyr if he survives too.

      I wouldn’t put it past the Russians to do something like this just to have a fictional boogeyman to whine about.

        Most Some of hid lackeys are blaming oposition and media for this since the news broke. No idea if he had a change of heart, but I doubt it. I can only see hin doubling down.

        If he switched sides, his political career is over - there would be nobody left to vote for him. Pro-Russian naratives got him back to being PM
