    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.

        There is always a (hidden) power struggle right beneath the big boss of any organisation.

        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.

          that’s a load bearing if, and if that was doing of someone else in his party, then they’d need to do all that organizing and such, all covertly. or maybe it’s italian mafia coming back for their debts, or some random dude

            Oh yeah, totally. Can’t disagree.

            In the end it honestly doesn’t matter that much. The flames of emotions are already fanned, oposition and press already blamed.

            I have no love for Fico but this is a terrible event no mattet what.
