I’m wondering if this isn’t a Reichstag-fire false-flag attack to justify a crackdown on pro-western dissent and secure Fico’s (hitherto precarious) grip on power.
Be careful reaching for the explanation that best matches your preconceived notions though. There are plenty of normal enemies too, and unfortunately, just one of them needs to be crazy enough to do this.
From the reports he got shot in the stomach. That’s not where you would want to get shot in case of a false flag, and probably wouldn’t put yourself directly in the line of fire like that either.
I feel like a false-flag wouldn’t have shot the PM so convincingly that he’d be “fighting for his life”. Like, a “missed me” assassination attempt would be near as effective without the near death.

In the end it doesn’t matter in this regard. Effect will be the same, oposition and media are already blamed for this by the ruling parties.
