What was the background to the attempted assassination of the Prime Minister of Slovakia?

Well, we don't know everything. A person, 71-year-old man has been apprehended. But the background seems to be that the attempt was triggered by the climate of #polarization that has been there in #Slovak #policies for quite some time, notably this year with #elections, #presidential one, last year with parliamentary elections, but even before that. So the lesson of this horrible act is that we have to be careful with the political culture and the #political climate in our #democracies. Otherwise, there's a risk-averse triggering actions by individuals of this sort.
