Slovak PM Robert Fico Shot

[riosleftsock]

"Several shots fired as he left a cabinet meeting. Man detained. Fico in hospital, condition unknown. Gavril Pickle's whereabouts unaccounted for......"

[Hammer and Pickle]

"People are beginning to realise that governments and institutions are there to serve key functions in society. They also can tell that bullshit, gaslighting and the misrepresentation of any opposition, be it left, centre or right wing is not going to get the job done. And they are not so ready any more to pay all that tax and NI just to have a clown say what they think on TV or social media."

[riosleftsock]

I must have missed the day when Donald Tusk became a liberal. Labels are meaningless if they are just attached to attract votes. Tusk is an authoritarian globalist who did not win the election in poland.

"""like all far right populists has nothing to offer when it comes to tackling the real problems people face."" You're right there. What the poor and needy are crying out for is what a good leftie party would deliver for them: Rainbow traffic crossings, genderless toilets and formal recognition of them/their pronouns."

[wils]

"""like all far right populists"" This is still Fico we are talking about here? Fico the former communist and founder of the left wing Smer (Direction - Social Democracy) party https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direction_%E2%80%93_Social_Democracy"

[Hammer and Pickle]

*merely gains votes

[Hammer and Pickle]

"It is very unfortunate Fico has been shot - he’ll build a myth around himself as a martyr and his reactionary electorate will gobble it up. Fico, like all far right populists has nothing to offer when it comes to tackling the real problems people face. He nearly gains votes among his segment while his country stagnates. Same thing is happening in Hungary and Georgia. What is interesting is how Poland has shown a liberal, pro-open society agenda can consolidate the majority vote to keep the reactionaries marginalised where they belong."

""" Hopefully they realise that Putin has no future, and neither do they if they side with him."" I don't think that's true. You can see from the UN abstention votes there is little support for the west outside of the actual west these days. This is 2024 and not 1994. The world is a different place and we, the west, no longer get to lord it over everyone like we use to. As this war is proving."

[Cheezey Bell-End]

"I'd be happy for Putin and his henchmen to be shot. They deserve it. As for people like Fico, Orban and the likes, if the war wasn't happening and they weren't willingly being useful idiots for Putin, I wouldn't care. It seems the same poison has hold on Georgia for now too. Hopefully they realise that Putin has no future, and neither do they if they side with him."

[Dwight Van Mann]

At least Pickle only want political opponents put in prison. Cheezey wants them fucking shot ?ü§£?ü§£?ü§£

"""Putin can present himself as humane and reasonable too."" As can Biden and co."

[Cheezey Bell-End]

Putin can present himself as humane and reasonable too.

[wils]

"""There's a war being fought and he chose the wrong side."" The below from Wikipedia seems quite a humane and reasonable position to me... ""Fico said that sending more and more weapons to Ukraine has only encouraged more killings and endless war, and instead efforts should be made to reach a ceasefire and push Russia and Ukraine toward peace talks. In September 2023, he stated in an interview: ""Why don't we force the warring parties, use the weight of the EU and the U.S. to make them sit down and find some sort of compromise that would guarantee security for Ukraine?""[85][86] He praised the peace plans to end the war put forward by the Vatican, Brazil and China.[87] Fico said Slovakia would continue to help Ukraine in a humanitarian way and his government would do everything possible to start peace talks.[88]"""

The man arrested for it was a Slovak writer and political activist. I saw a video of the shooting. His security detail were pretty relaxed about it.

"I haven't killed anybody, directly or indirectly. Unlike Putin who doesn't even give a shit about his own people."

[Lee Trundle]

"Dwight Van Mann 7:03 Wed May 15 ""Very Putinesque that mate"" It is funny that those who oppose Putin the most are the ones that act like him the most."

[riosleftsock]

"Checks news* Nope, Slovakia is still not at war with anybody."

[Cheezey Bell-End]

"People have died because they are less able to defend themselves from Russian aggression. If he took Putin's money to cut off supply, then he shouldn't be surprised if someone wants to bump him off."

[Cheezey Bell-End]

What does the left have to do with it you gullible tool? There's a war being fought and he chose the wrong side.

[Lee Trundle]

Cheezey Bell-End 11:14 Wed May 8 Re: The war in Ukraine I hope the would be assassins are dealt with severely to deter others That's the toLOLerant left for you.

[Dwight Van Mann]

By bullet not the ballot box eh Cheezey? Very Putinesque that mate

[Cheezey Bell-End]

He's a pro Putin tool who cut off aid to Ukraine. Hopefully he's unable to return to his job and Orban is next.

"Dwight, this was Handlova. About halfway between Bratislava and the Polish border, not some car park in Croydon"

[Mr Kenzo]

Have we been linked with him on Claret&Hugh ?

[Dwight Van Mann]

Pickle has form for death threats
