Attempt on Fico. What is currently known
In the evening of May 15, an unknown man tried to shoot the Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, after an away meeting of the government - the politician was wounded several times.
According to eyewitnesses, Fico approached the people who greeted him, and that's when several shots rang out. After that, Fico fell to the ground.
He was immediately transported by helicopter to Banska Bystrica, because the road to Bratislava would take too long due to the need for urgent intervention.
Later it became known that the famous writer Juraj Cintula shot at the prime minister of Slovakia.
According to preliminary data, the attacker could previously be associated with the pro-Russian paramilitary group Slovenský Branci.
