    I speak Polish not Slovakian, but I'm pretty sure you completely mistranslated what was said. Firstly, the address was not "ladies and gentlemen" but "congressmen and congresswomen". And secondly your translation of "this is your job" seems to lose the actual meaning of what was said, which was along the lines of "this is your doing" - implying (as far as I can tell) that the opposition (who he was presumably addressing) is responsible for the assassination attack
