Fico got injured in a shooting
According to the Associated Press, the attacker was detained, and the prime minister of Slovakia was already taken to the hospital with injuries.
Other media reported that the incident occurred during an off-site government meeting.
A video of a meeting of the Slovak government was published on Robert Fico's Facebook page, but there is no moment of the attempt in it.
According to the latest data, Fico got injured in limbs, chest and stomach. Eyewitnesses claim that up to 4-5 shots were fired.
According to the Slovak weekly PLUS 7 DAYS, someone from the crowd shouted, "Robo, come here", after which the shooting began.
The politician's condition is assessed as very serious.
The network has already published the moment of the arrest of the attacker of the prime minister of Slovakia.
What is essential to know about Robert Fico
Robert Fico, Slovakia's Prime Minister, holds this position for the fourth time.
He is known for his pro-Russian position and support for the regime of the illegitimate president of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin.
In addition, he often blocked important decisions regarding Ukraine in the European Union and made loud, pessimistic predictions about the end of the Russo-Ukrainian war.
For example, recently, Fico insulted Slovaks for collecting money for shells for Ukraine.
He cynically stated that the collected millions would not change the final situation.
People have the right to think that bullets and bombs are more critical than maybe people in Slovakia who have cancer. Then, let them send the weapons, and I tell them I have nothing to say. If we said today, let's do a fundraiser for cancer. Probably not that much would be raised.
