The security guards were facing and even surrounding the gunman. When he stretched out his arms, the eagle eyed bodyguards should’ve reacted immediately and put him down. Even the police officer’s unfazed reaction, seconds after while walking away is suspicious. I think it is an inside job.

The weirdest thing is the attacker attended meetings of Slovakian nationalist pro-russian paramilitary group, it's captured on a photo, but now the attackers statements are that he did it because of PM's anti liberal, and anti Ukraine politics. Btw this PM had to step down 6 years ago after he was connected to murder of Slovakian journalist Kuciak, but the Slovaks elected him again this year. Crazy country
By the end of this war, there will be at least a dozen "Great Mysteries of the Russo-NATO War" on History Channel in the 2050s. Episodes will include: "Who blew up Nordstream?" , "Who blew up Kakhovka dam?" , "Where did half of the $300B for Ukraine go?" , and now "Who shot the Slovakian Prime Minister?"...

Mussolini, Trujillo, Tombalbaye, Habyarimana were shot and then accused as well. Gadafi was beaten to death and I’m sure he was accused after. Of course these circumstances are not altogether the same, but authoritarian leaders around the world are attempting to limit people’s liberties and crush democracy. What this shooter did was wrong, but as for the Slovak Prime Minister-as the saying goes, “if you play with fire, you might get burned.” Vote blue in 2024 💙
