Slovak PM Fico's condition 'extremely serious' after shooting attack, says defence minister

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico faced a critical assassination attempt by Juraj Cintula, a 71-year-old man with dissent against Fico's policies, particularly regarding arms shipments to Ukraine. Fico's decision to halt arms deliveries after his election victory drew backlash, allegedly motivating Cintula's actions. Described as a "lone wolf" with no extremist affiliations, Cintula's frustrations with government decisions may have been accelerated by the recent presidential election results. Both allies and opposition leaders denounced the attack, highlighting its threat to Slovakia's democracy. Cintula's background as a former security guard and poet adds complexity to the situation. The incident occurred amid debates over the dissolution of Slovakia's public broadcaster, further heightening concerns about political stability. Fico's condition remains serious as Slovakia awaits updates on his recovery. #Slovakia #RobertFico #PrimeMinister #Attack #SuspectDetained #Police #Shooting #Turmoil #PoliticalCrisis #Leadership #Security #PrayersForFico #Stability #LawEnforcement #CurrentEvents ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.103~GR.124~
