Assassination attempt: Slovak PM Fico shot and wounded

Robert Fico news

The politician was wounded after an assailant fired multiple shots.

Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico has been shot and wounded on Wednesday in the town of Handlova. Multiple shots were fired at the politician as he greeted the public after a government meeting.

Local media describe his condition as “serious” and “life threatening.” A post on Fico’s Facebook page has warned that the “next few hours will be critical.”

The prime minister has been transported to a hospital in Banska Bystrica, a small city in the center of the country, because it would have taken too long to reach Bratislava, the statement added. An official from Fico’s Smer party has told the media that the prime minister was shot in the abdomen and is now undergoing surgery.

The shooting took place as Fico shook hands with members of the public outside a government building. The suspected gunman was detained at the scene, according to state news agency TASR.

The suspected gunman – believed to be a Slovakian of pension age, according to reports – was detained at the scene, the state news agency TASR has reported. Video footage purportedly shows officers pinning the attacker to the ground after the incident.

President Zuzana Caputova condemned the “brutal and reckless” attack on Fico, and wished the PM “a lot of strength at this critical moment.”

Fico took office in October 2023, after serving two stints as prime minister from 2006 to 2010 and from 2012 to 2018. Fico immediately halted the previous government’s policy of military aid to Ukraine and called for a negotiated settlement between Moscow and Kiev. His neutral stance on the conflict has seen him clash with Brussels, and with pro-Western figures within Slovakia such as Caputova.

  1. We all know how this works.

    No dissent from the fascist covid cult agenda will be tolerated.

    Orders vil be obeyed. You vil eat ze bugs and you vil be happy ya.

  2. Slovakia rejected the WHO pandemic treaty yesterday.

    Yesterday.

    The world is run by an international mafia.

  3. As reported by Zerohedge

    Fico earned NATO’s ire after vowing to block the delivery of weapons to Ukraine during his latest run for office. Fico has also expressed dissatisfaction with Bratislava’s defense pact with Washington, promising to review it.
    Fico has expressed fervent opposition to Ukraine’s membership in NATO, and said he believes Russia began its military operation as a result of neo-Nazis running rampant in Ukraine.
    Fico has warned that Western military assistance to Ukraine will only prolong the crisis and increase the number of victims, and has accused foreign forces of meddling in the conflict, which “could have been extinguished at the very beginning.”
    Fico believes anti-Russian sanctions have “negatively affected” the lives of ordinary Slovaks.
    Fico has been bashed by European legacy media as a left-wing populist analogue of Hungarian right-wing populist Viktor Orban, with outlets pulling out all the stops to accuse him of “democratic backsliding” and “flouting European norms,” including over his push to reform the criminal code.
    The Slovak PM has also made enemies with powerful European political and business interests, promising to launch an independent inquiry into the EU’s authoritarian pandemic-era policies.

    With great polices like these you can see why he was almost assassinated.

  4. Not too hard to see what happened here. It not easy being a decent person in politics. I hope he recovers and beefs up his bodyguard.

  5. Let’s hope that Victor Orban and the Hungarian Government Officials, and the Fico supporters in office start wearing Kevlar with trauma plates.
    Less than a day after denying the Globalists their reign in Slovakia, within hours Fico is shot…
    Unquaccinated is correct- a global fascist tyrannical international mafia is ruling the Earth, and it will take a LOT of effort for the nations to rid themselves of the Great Reset / NWO.
    Get started NOW!…

  6. Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico was a card carrying cool aid drinking Commie when he was behind the Iron curtain, when the wall came down he joined the Social democrats ( Communism with a vote) he is in the club, a hold over from the old days that don’t want to give up power. He was shot by an old person that remembers what it was like and what these people really are and sometimes people think this is the only way to break free from these people, its a small club and the real people are not in it. This is what happens when the elites meddle in our lives for their benefit and we find out. F*** around and find out.

    • Kinda like Romania’s Nicolae Ceaucescu and his wife who live in excess while leaving the country in asdject poverty and tyranny.
      I remember in 1989 when Communism was sent packing in Romania, and Ceaucescu was charged in a court case that lasted :20 minutes, whereupon at the end of the case he was convicted of treason, crimes against humanity, etc. and was immediately shot / executed alongside his wife.
      The ‘Social Democrats’ were treated well by both Hitler and the Communist ‘Leaders’ of several Eastern European countries.
      The closest thing we have to the above in NZ are the Greens who-in retrospect, have proven that ‘green’ is the new ‘red’.

      • Hitlers fight was against communism, in fact everything told about Hitler is just globalist J€wish propaganda.

        • look for ” the bad war” by michael s king, not available anywhere anymore ( cencured/ index by amazon a.o.) but to down load / streaming for free on ;
          archive.org

          As well as many other tittles. A treasure trove

          • Yes great collection of works by Mr King, as well as the Bad War, “Planet Rothschild I & II” and “Mein Side of the Story” are recommended History lessons.
