Thoughts and prayers for s speedy recovery!
Whether you like the man or not he is a democratically elected leader and when he is attacked his citizenship and State has been assaulted. Anyone who respects democracy would abhor this act.
He is also himself a murderer - conspiracy to murder the young Slovakian journalist Jan Kuciak and his fiancee. He and his corrupt buddies assassinated two innocent citizens… How about some justice?!?
Yeah by manipulating your babushka. very democratic indeed
also spreading lies and fear-mongering.
Democracy isn't exercised only in the ballots. For instance, people exercise democracy also by apprehending their politicians to throw them in the trashcan, as happened a few times in Ukraine back in 2014. You also need to bear in mind that people are easily manipulated by mainstream media, which triggers the question of how much wisdom and good sense find place in a democracy.
Disclaimer: I'm not knowledgeable enough for an assessment of Fico's matter.
I abhor this act, but I'm also not going to pretend that he hasn't spent the last several years deliberately manufacturing this political extremism among his own people.
No one should be subjected to political violence, but that doesn't only apply to politicians, it applies to the PUBLIC those politicians attempt to attack in their statements, their policies and their propaganda.
Fico has spent several years openly promoting extremism among his own people in order to gain populist votes. No one should be surprised that this is happening, it's the inevitable consequence of politicians generating hate and extremism in order to win votes.
hahahahaha democratically elected hahahahha does people like u still exist `? really
Prayers for his recovery. This is just horrible.
Well I'm praying for him not to recover, so I think we're just cancelling each other out.

Wasn't he against giving arms to Ukraine???
Hungarian president is also denies giving arm to Ukraine and nobody trying to kill him. He is welcome to represent his opinion and going further his illiberal way blocking the eu seem to be tolerated.... They would have taken him out long time ago because he is a real pain in the @zz for the eu.
I truly believe that this amateur attack was carried out by the writer's emotions. No intelligence services involved in this.
Yes.
He was also a white man. So what? What’s the relevance?
@@SalimAsit This is a political assassination attempt because he wasn't pro-EU and anti-Ukraine war.
He wanted to drive Beantly, but his people to wait 25 years to buy Lada
We here in Slovakia are shocked of this brutal attack and wish recovery of our premier.
Slovakia is trying to protect its sovereignty and culture. Don't back down!

*Leftist-populist Prime Minister Robert Fico, who returned to power last fall, started his fourth term as leader by vowing to end the era of “NGO supremacy” and reroute their funding elsewhere. His promise to introduce a law labeling NGOs as foreign agents if they are funded from abroad saw GLOBSEC, the country’s largest high-level security conference, decamp to Prague in March*
He was against stupid war and hypocrats that are geting rivh on Slavs blood
Though pro Ukrainian blood
🙏🏻 Sending prayers that he recovers.
Why anyone would want to go into politics boggles my mind. Half of everyone hates you no matter what you do.
Truth, I think it’s more than half honestly
In his case, it was most people that hated him, not because of 'no matter what', but because of trying to appease Putin.
True. But also 99% of the politicians are genuinely awful at their job and in it for their own greed.
bde...Appease him or just seeing the other side to the argument. Knowing the full history.
Sounds like he was trying to try for peaceful talks. Hil - ary and the gang won’t like that.
Sending well wishes for a swift recuperation to the courageous Prime Minister of Slovakia.

With everything happening in the world today I am fearful of the future wars in Ukraine and Israel both wars have the possibility of escalating anywhere on the planet people killing each other for anything these days !!! All I can say from what I see on the news every day. The cost of living prices of just food everywhere is getting worse. Wars in some countries are getting worse by the day leaders of some countries are talking about using nuclear weapons as a first strike strategy I could list more that's getting worse but it is too depressing to write it down.
Nah, Fico is the dark force. His government killed a journalist Kuciak.

@@Bruss390 President doesnt have power to vote, its the PM that does. The president is just a figure head.
European democracy is not like US democracy. Or really its just the US that is different. Compare it to Israel where its the same as Slovakia: The president doesnt decide what happens, the PM Netanyahu does.
Most PMs have more power than the president.
@A-pi4uk In countries like Slovakia or Hungary, the President holds a largely ceremonial role with limited executive power, in contrast to the Prime Minister, who wields significant authority and is the head of government.
If he dies, it's going to get real ugly in Europe..😐😐😐
Lol no. Russia brought the ugliness, and this hated man tried to appease them.
Yeah cause its been top of trip advisor 2 years in a row now...

Yeah because Slovakia are a major player on the European stage. Made me chuckle though.
If he dies Slovakia will need a new Prime minister and that is it.

Why do people, these days, say "floor" for the "ground". Do they not know that floors are inside buildings,except for a deck.
Liberal meaning. Why bother
Ha ha ha😂
Why fuss about it, that's not the issue,the issue is, NATO just CIA just shot a prime minister
Millennials don't go outside, everything is (their parents basement) " floor"
Well, depends whether he has been floored or grounded. I hope the (democratically elected!.. woo hoo!!! ... like Trump, like Orban) thug has been both. (Supports Putin's "Russkiy Mir" Russia and has close ties to Slovak mafia). He's basically Orban's little brother.
This is a terrorist act.
telegraph Mr Fico’s suspected attacker has been named in the media as Juraj Cintula, a 71-year-old man from Levice, a town in western Slovakia.
He is alleged to have owned the gun used in the shooting legally and is under arrest.
Terrorism is violence against civilians for political gain, not violence against a politician. We use that word so much now, its meaning has been lost.
Front the CIA because is prorussia
You need to ask yourself who are the "terrorists".

BBC presenter "I'm so shocked this is happening in europe"
I am not shocked.. How many regime changes has there been along the outskirts of Europe.. Some violent some peaceful..
How many leaders that don't follow a certain agenda end up dead..?.
