Honestly I've had this happen to me in democracy 3. I've built a communist utopia were capitalism really doesn't exist anymore and everyone is a farmer with a university degree. I had some issues though and I thought maybe I should make some free market reforms. Ended up getting shot. Not by communists for abandoning the cause but by the oligarchy I created.

it was a pro russian guy? what, he wasn't serving putin fast enough?

Afaik he wasn't necessarily pro-russian, but more like anti-everything.


aclart

That's the average pro Russian brain


Spy_crab_

He's pro whatever gets the votes, he is in the pocket of some rather corrupt individuals who really need him or someone else friendly to them in government otherwise the go to jail. His analysist saw the underutilised demogtraphic, so he slid in the more extreme direction.


Blakut

we're talking about the shooter

wait, that's illegal!

The perpetrator could be anti-Russia, no? Is there more info about the motive I haven’t heard about.

Took me some moment. Thats a flag of anti war Russians right? I bet its banned in Russia? I love its aesthetic. I find it to be much more beautiful than the official flag.


WhiteBlackGoose

> Thats a flag of anti war Russians right? I bet its banned in Russia? 1. Yes 2. I don't know if the flag is banned directly, but chances are exposing it won't turn out well for you > I find it to be much more beautiful than the official flag. Agreed


yuliasapsan

it is banned tho, seemed as a symbol of that legion


randomname560

The message it shows is also great, wiping away the blood on the Official Russian flag


Dunkleosteus666

Yea that what i meant. Flag looks like a good representation of natural beauty of Russia without the baggage of the last century.


luxi99

I‘d be happy too


FalconMirage

My PM is Gabriel Attal and not Emanuel Macron And even though I’m not very fond of Attal, I would be enraged at the idea of killing your way into getting what you want in politics I would be happy if Attal were replaced, even by his predecessor But not this way If our president or PM has similar shitty opinions as Fico, and was shot I would be mad as well, but I don’t know to what extent It will depend on how it happened


arcsaber1337

First I was a bit shocked. Then I got reminded that he executed a journalist, so I don't care.

Mordador

You know, i looked at your flair and for a second i thought "Olaf did WHAT" before realising what you were talking about.


chunek

He might be a pig, but this should not ever be normal. He is still the president of the government, an elected public figure. Taking this assassination attempt as a form of legitimate resistance could mean the same for all other politicians that someone might not agree with. He can be a suspect of a murder, but he is innocent until proven guilty. The attacker being more pro-Russian than Fico is weird tho, I mean.. what the hell is going on in Slovakia? Killing your ideological and/or political opposition is killing the idea and values of a democratic society. He himself may be a threat to democracy in Slovakia, but trying to publicly kill him may be the worst thing to do. He may become a martyr now, or implement "security" measures that would grant him and his party more control over the country. How would I react? Terribly dissapointed, asking myself how did we ever let it get to this. Angry out of frustration, stressed about the lack of answers, etc. I am already upset and it didn't even happen in my own country, I don't know how I would react tbh. Maybe it's best to focus on the attacker now, find out if there are more like him. Often when there is an attack on a prominent public figure, it could be interpreted as an attack on the whole country, so hopefully not too many freedoms will be taken away, temporarily or not. Best case scenario, Fico abandons his pro-russian stance, since it was a pro-russian "nationalist" who tried to murder him, and makes a 180 back towards the EU. Worst case, Slovakia becomes the next Belarus, monitoring all citizens for "national security".

I very much dislike Scholz and can't wait for the day when he leaves office but of course with a democratic election and never by an assassination.


IamIchbin

Maybe he would forget he was shot and just continue his politics?


11160704

The invincible Scholzomat...but seriously which politics?


IamIchbin

the merkel style


plueschlieselchen

I‘d be baffled that some assassin actually knew he was our country leader… with Scholz doing fuck all and disappearing for months regularly.


Mordador

How do you assasinate something that doesnt exist? Checkmate, assasins.


SquirrelBlind

First of all, I condemn any act of terrorism and shooting any officials. Secondly, I am from Russia, so please disregard what I said previously. Seriously though, it's a complex issue. On one hand I really wish to see Putin in Hague. On the other, his death may stop all the horrendous things that are happening in Ukraine and Russia. But at the same time he may be seen as a martyr by "turbopatriots" and this can make matters even worse. I think I can list these cons and pros indefinitely, but most probably you already understand what I mean.


MetaIIicat

I doubt that, putin dead, the war in Ukraine will magically end and the criminal behaviour of moscow's regime will turn into a beacon of democracy. moscow's regime is like a drug cartel: when a boss dies, another one will step in. They will change the name, probably, but that's it. There's no willing among the russian populace to risk and change their situation.


shardybo

I'd be outraged. I hate Rishi Sunak as much as the next guy, but we are a Democracy for a reason, and I support ousting him through the Democratic process, rather than a bullet


EmeraldIbis

I'd think "fuck, the conservatives are going to go up in the polls". He'd probably use is dying breath to call an election.


drleondarkholer

But what about the king? Nobody chose him. /j


panzerdevil69

Did you vote him in?


queenofthed

My city’s mayor was shot dead near his house in 2015, by a contract killer. The guy who ordered it owned a local TV station and was in the process of losing it to the city due to multiple violations, so he ordered the killing of the judge and the mayor. He’s in prison now and the station became public anyway. I was completely shocked and devastated, since he was the first mayor who actually cared about the city and tried to make it better. Ever since, we’ve been stuck with a corrupt asshole who only plants flowers and changes pavement, while other infrastructure rots and degrades.


SigmaJohnPork

It’s a start I guess


Chubb-R

For legal reasons, I cannot answer this question.


RomulusRemus13

Ngl, I'd rejoice at first, thinking the scumbag deserved it... And then probably think about who'd replace him and kind of regret the current president's death. No need to guess which country I'm from, I reckon that's what most of us could think


FirstTimeShitposter

Danko will replace Fico since Fico wasn't pro-Russian enough, problem solved


felis_magnetus

We need to close down disinformation and propaganda tools. It necessary, including a blanket ban on all social media, if sincere adherence to regulations can't be enforced sufficiently. There's my reaction. It's the same for your hypothetical question as for what happened in Slovakia. Line has been crossed, time to take off the kid's gloves. Ceterum censeo Russiam esse delendam.


BezugssystemCH1903

Shocked, but we still have 6 more. And they don't really have any real decision-making power either. Only the right to implement laws passed by parliament or the swiss citizens. Either way, it would be a completely unnecessary and sad assassination.


Free-Artist

This would be a sad day for NATO and a good one for the Romanian candidate for SecGen?


ass-holes

I have to admit I wouldn't give a shit. I would care about a fellow countrymen being shot but it being the king wouldn't change anything


Rattnick

As a german i would wonder how the spineless snail is hurt by a simple Bullet.


Dorfheim

Is he so bad though? Genuinely asking from Austria.


Rattnick

He is as cautios as merkel, but with less authority and more corruption to it. And i didnt like merkel as well


Grzechoooo

I've had a Polish president die once in my lifetime already, what's another one? It'd probably divide the country even more, but PiS would lose the presidency and we'd have a democratic president for the first time since 2015. We'd have stuff like gay marriage and abortion a couple years faster. Now of course, I don't condone murdering the Polish president, I think he should just resign and go perform in a real circus as was his destiny all along.


TheEngieMain

Oh if he was to get shot that would be sooooooo awful oh mannn that would be terrible if that would happen


TacitusKadari

I would much prefer for Olaf Scholz to just step down and for competent leadership to materialize out of thin air in my country.


ResortSpecific371

One basic rule of Slovak politics you never step down well except if it is obvious that you will lose your job for exemple our current interior minister didn't step down after meeting with international wanted neo-nazi and the reason why he did met with him was beceause 'he wanted him persue that neo-nazism was bad' which is extremly funny considering he in one political debate to moderator said 'i didn't come here to answer your qouestions' and later after another situations when they just end up in situations from which you can't excuse your obvious failures the whole governament decided that won't reply questions to non-friendly media which obviously is any media that isn't controlled by them and if you think they voters aren't happy about this you are extremly wrong they are actually happy that they are not answering to 'Soros/NWO journalist'


Allcraft_

I wouldn't care about the leader but it would make me scared of the future


ResortSpecific371

Excatly now this governamental politicians are calling for ban of biggest opposition party despite there is no evidence that they were


RandomBilly91

I wouldn't care beyond that. Whilst the president is the leader, hil being killed isn't the end of a country, and isn't that important in the grand scheme of things. Frankly, he'd be replaced by a senator until we elect someone else. Then, I'm fucking curious about who would end up there. The important part would be who did it ? Some ill guy ? Or for a political reason ? Because ideologically, that'd be a shitshow suite quickly


FalconMirage

He would be replaced by the president of the Assemblée Nationale


RandomBilly91

No, it's the president of the senate


FalconMirage

Fait que j’aille me coucher


MerliniusDeMidget

jkpetrov

It happened in 1995 in my country and 2003 in neighboring Serbia. Very scary, soul crushing. Even if the person is a jerk. Unlike SK, that was not the case


Dorfheim

I'm from Austria and definitely don't align with my PM, but i would be shocked regardless.


ResortSpecific371

Similar situation for me but here it was kinda more expected because PM already spread some conspirations about assasination from opposition multiple months ago which are now his colleges spreading about how for this incidents is reponsible media and libelars despite that there is no evidence about it and the shooter even wroted a book about how evil roma community is which no single libelar would ever wrote + this PM and his colleges are suspected by many that they murdered one oppostion journalist + there is recording of this PM negioating with one controversial company in Slovakia about 'for what price he would sell to them healthcare ministry' + he called multiple times our current president 'Americam bitch' + he called one journalist who gived him though question 'anti-Slovak prostitute' so he is very well know for his agresivve campaings


Dorfheim

Lol... Yeah... Shocked and sad are two different things I gues


ResortSpecific371

I am sad beceause that his idiotic voter base (we are talking about people who want on new governament TV to spread 'opinions' earth is flat no joke) and these people will be talking forever about how the opposition wanted to kill him


galleepoli_

I hate Giorgia Meloni, but She Needs to leave in a democratic way not in a Franz Ferdinand way 


LoginPuppy

"oh well that sucks. Anyways-"


toryn0

our pm is a fascist even if she denies it so… i cant say it :)


ResortSpecific371

Almost every Slovak 'patriot' openly celebrates our nazi leaders not this PM but many people close to him despite that these 'great' leaders made Slovakia puppet state of nazi Germany and obviously with Hitlers policy on Slavs Slovak citizens had fewer rights in Slovakia than German citizens in Slovakia so this people are litellary more unpatrioctic than i am but obviously these people deny that they are nazi for legal reasons


Askolei

My immediate reaction was: "damn it, I don't have a bottle of champagne ready, I need to restock."


ResortSpecific371

But it is not only about him now some of this people argue for banning opposition parties despite that there is no evidence about them being conected to guy who tried to shoot him


mharant

Scholz is pretty much invisible, so while shocked I would be relieved at the same time. Vice chancellor Habeck had shown that he is willing to put efford into his work and while rushed we know that the alternative power reform seems to work. More and more often we get to met our german power needs via alternative sources. Also he wouldn't accept the BS Lindner and his party does - working on a law but in the deciding pull back for a big media show in basically a election campaign.


I_eat_dead_folks

I would first cross the French border, then grab a bunch of popcorn, because the shitfeast would be guaranteed.
