I speak Polish not Slovakian, but I'm pretty sure you completely mistranslated what was said. Firstly, the address was not "ladies and gentlemen" but "congressmen and congresswomen". And secondly your translation of "this is your job" seems to lose the actual meaning of what was said, which was along the lines of "this is your doing" – implying (as far as I can tell) that the opposition (who he was presumably addressing) is responsible for the assassination attack
The CIA strikes again.
This is what happens to European Politician who stands with his people instead of USA.
Context? What did he mean? Pro-russian, contra-russian? which party stands for what? What is he suggesting? Are you a newspaper or what?
The second sentence was, it is your job.
WHO
Fico keeps telling Ukraine to negotiate with russia, so why didn't he just negotiate with the guy who attacked him?
As I understand he was a crook, just one step ahead of jail like the rest of these brainless populists
who did the translation? its bad, its really bad
Cia backed plot
They want Ukraine 2.0
Blaha knows, who's job was it ?! Blaha needs to be immediately investigated .
Why do many seats are empty??
He opposed NATO wars look what they did to him it’s not Russia but NATO military bases all over the world spreading wars
Gg
I’m Polish and I understand Slovakian. Awesome. 🤩
oh no, how will we make russian co-official along slovak now???
At 0:16, the man says in an accusing tone: 'This is your work.'
I wouldn’t be surprised if the motive was because the PM is anti Ukraine
Prayers and thoughts for Mr Fico, his family and the Slovakian nation!
So sorry for him and the nation!
there are 5 people workin in the entire parliament?
and the opposition replies: Nope, it's your doing you "odkundes" (means basically a person that comes from abroad but people use it as a rough insult)
We know why , and WHO did it
This means war
Isn't it suspicious that this precisely happens to an anti-NATO president? Also the chimes are like the Tagesschau bells.
CIA MI6 or von leyen
Pray for Slovakia. 🇸🇰 🙏🏼
Very dirty western-style democracy
question the PNAC proxy war, the W.H.O. treaty or the vAxX & you get the whacks !
Pro Russian Slovakian PM shot, Ukraine losing and Russia gaining ground continuously, Russian President in China.
Seems that someone is getting really desperate.
Do y'all need a new translator??
