How not to politically promote oneself

This video is from a recent Slovak newscast, depicting the (angry) leader of the far-right (i.e. neo-fascist) 'Slovak National Party,' Jan Slota, pontificating his views in a Bratislava outdoor bar.

Even if one cannot understand what is being said, his belligerence and bigotry is quite apparent. It is also -- or so I read -- not the first time that he has chosen to promote himself whilst under the influence of booze.

The man is an embarrassment to Slovakia; why he is in the current coalition government of Prime Minister Robert Fico is beyond me.
