    Which is supper weird because Fico is strongly pro-Russian.

      I wouldn’t put it past the Russians to do something like this just to have a fictional boogeyman to whine about.

        Most of hid lackeys are blaming oposition and media for this since the news broke. No idea if he had a change of heart, but I doubt it. I can only see hin doubling down.

        If he switched sides, his political career is over - there would be nobody left to vote for him. Pro-Russian naratives got him back to being PM
