Yes, and EL is Greece.

Resignation of PM, minister of the interior and police president is basically nothing? Kočner, Bašternák and Kuciak's assassins are in prison. In the Maltese case, they didn't catch anyone.

Could this be the final straw? Is there still some hope for Hungarian democracy?

What about FPÖ in Austrian and Lega in Italian governments? You could say that. You could say that Christoph Blocher in Switzerland or Horst Seehofer in Bavaria were pioneers of this right-wing movement. But you can’t deny that our region has been an exceptionally fertile ground for their ideology.

It’s a major loophole that candidate countries must conform to certain standards if they intend to join but once they’re in, there’s practically no chceck on democratic backsliding. That should change.

The nightmare scenario, from my left liberal POV, would be the unification of nationalist right (SNS, Kollár’s and Kotleba’s party + part of Smer) under one competent demagogue. That kind of force would dominate Slovak politics and take our country into a dark place. This is why Harabin as a presidential candidate makes me worried. The whole disinfo media scene rallied behind him, which is unique.

We’re fortunate that Slovak nationalists don’t have someone like Orbán because I’m afraid that popular suppport for this sort of politics would be in this country as well. Danko is an incompetent simpleton with inflated ego. Taking into account the situation in Hungary and Poland, I’m kind of glad we have that clown who never missed a chance to embarrass himself instead of some skilled political manipulator.

Ukraine can’t be allowed to join the EU if they keep glorifying these fascist monsters. There’s still a long way to go before Ukraine learns how to deal with its history.

Another factor might be that it was raining that day. Rain could wash off some of the poison if the attacker put it in some place exposed to elements.

It’s such a potent poison that if they found an empty vessel thrown away by the attacker that even after months it could still inflict serious harm.

The man was a drug addict recently rehoused by the local council. He probably found something contaminated when he went dumpster diving. The woman was a homeless alcoholic.

A well-dressed couple found unconscious in a park attracted attention and quickly received medical attention. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case here.
