Share:
Ján Púček, a former candidate for mayor of Žilina representing the far-right ĽSNS party, defended threatening statements against opposition figures circulating on social media, claiming his words were misinterpreted. Púček stated he never planned to shoot or harm anyone, explaining that what appeared as a single threatening post was actually two separate status updates that became merged together. The ĽSNS (People's Party Our Slovakia) is a far-right political party led by Marian Kotleba that has faced scrutiny for extremist rhetoric and activities.
