Putin's Ally Robert Fico Shot: Slovakia PM Assassination Attempt Jaw-Dropping Moment

Prime Minister Robert Fico of Slovakia was shot outside the House of Culture in Handlova, causing shockwaves throughout the nation.

The incident, involving four shots, led to swift law enforcement action, with a suspect detained and the scene cordoned off.

Deputy Speaker of Parliament Lubos Blaha confirmed the attack, prompting an adjournment of parliamentary proceedings.

Slovakian President Zuzana Caputova and political opposition leader Michal Šimečka condemned the assault, expressing concern for Fico's recovery.

A circulated video captured the chaotic aftermath as Fico was assisted into a waiting vehicle, though his condition remained uncertain.

The shooting has reignited debates about Fico's leadership, marked by polarising rhetoric and controversial policies.

As Slovakia grapples with the attack's aftermath, questions linger over its impact on political stability.
