In the aftermath of the assassination attempt on Robert Fico, government parties allege that years of inflammatory rhetoric from mainstream media and the political opposition are responsible. Interior Minister and Voice party chairman, Matúš Šutaj Eštok, frequently references a controversial survey from the discredited Czech agency SANEP. The poll attributes significant blame to opposition rhetoric and media but is criticised for its lack of transparency and ties to political figures. The survey’s legitimacy is in question, raising concerns about its influence on public opinion and political discourse.
