Well, this is definitely a "Wait and see what develops" kinda situation.

He was very outspokenly pro-Russia and anti EU. Also seemed very anti-press. Very reminiscent of Orban really. I wouldn't be surprised if this were some activist taking things into their own hands before Fico cemented his control like Orban has.

Will be interesting to see the fallout of this. In Slovakia but also countries in similar situations and of course from Russia. The political climate in Slovakia is going to be absolutely fucked.
