Description
Political scientist Grigorij Meseznikov, co-founder of the Institute of Public Affairs in Slovakia, says that "part of the population is tending to express solidarity and sympathy with the person which they consider as the victim (...) so this kind of political martyrdom can be used" in upcoming elections. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, 59, suffered multiple gunshot wounds on Wednesday while speaking with the public after an off-site cabinet meeting. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
