- With Slovakia's prime minister's life hanging in the balance - his political rivals and supporters have come together to denounce the assassination attempt - calling it an attack on Slovak democracy.
Robert Fico was hit in the stomach after a gunman opened fire during a meeting with supporters in the town of Handlova, just over 100 miles from the capital Bratislava.
He was airlifted to hospital - where the next few hours will prove critical.
A warning - there are shocking images from the very start of this report.

What was that? Policia seems at ease and relaxed, walking around like nothing happened?
His “bodyguards” had no idea what to do. It’s obvious they do not train.
Yes you are absulutely right, investigation will be issued and they will probably be fired. Nobody stopped gunner after first shot.
Because they got paid off. They knew
They do train. Every day on the 7.59 from Euston to Manchester. How dare you insinuate any different young lady.
They had the shooter subdued within 2 seconds. What are you talking about?
They did well considering the circumstances. As another said, the shooter was subdued quickly and the pm was swiftly taken to his vehicle. The problem is you don’t know anything about actual combat and think action movies are an accurate reflection of real life.
What a bunch of useless "bodyguards", they seem stunned and lost
They were possibly instructed to "not do much".
Ahh yes the CZcams armchair analyst

By who?
I thought the same thing. For comparison, watch the attempted assasination of Reagan and how quickly the secret service responded.
Islam is taking over 😄👍
“But how stable do you think … Slovak democracy is???” I thought he was going to ask about the prime minister!!!
She don't know about his condition clearly
It is all about people values. Democracy, political views, religion is not a value. True value are life and health. If you do not have life, you can not have a view. If you do not have healts, you to not care about money, politics, democracy, war, you only wait for educated and moral people will help you soon. So people around the world should have to focus, to education and health care and ecology, not to make weapons and to vote for politicians which do not care about poeple lifes or health issues.
@@PavolFilek you get to choose between 2 candidates that are both shills
world is eating itself apart!!!
ARE their Stables in Slovakia? I hope the Czech Republic is democratically safe.😊
The world is getting more and more scarier and crazier. Everyone, look after yourselves and be safe.
Yes, every week this is happening 😮
The world has always been crazy and always will be.
its falling part fast now
Is it, though? Not so long ago, we were at the brink of global annihilation, during the cold war.
The worst has yet to come and you have yourselves to blame
Did you notice the unorganized security detail...looks like a intentional mishap.
👉
Its the prime minister of Slovakia bro, not the us president. It's common that officials walk like that, often even without security
@@precupradu9149 Everyone will blame the security, yes, maybe they failed. But the Japanese Prime Minister had 138 top-trained bodyguards, and it didn't help him-the shooter killed him on the street. There is always this risk on the street.
@@precupradu9149no head of state is without security it just you don't see them
I agree. They all need to be investigated.
I can not believe the police officer who was standing to the right of him and who simply ran away when he heard the shots. Not a single police officer reacted or drew their weapons. Also when the PM was shot, not a single person from his detail stayed focused on him. The security agent immedietly next to him watched him hit the floor and had a delayed reaction when unholstering his weapon. There could have been other shooters in the crowd and nobody was focused on the PM except the shooter.
Guns were pulled, I saw that, the guy on the left.
Pozdravujem z Arktídy (Rusko, Murmansk) Prajem skoré uzdravenie, premiér Robert, Fico. V budúcnosti berte svoju bezpečnosť vážnejšie.
Привет из Арктики ( Россия, Мурманск) Желаю скорейшего выздоровления , премьер министру Роберту, Фицо. Ну и в дальнейшем относиться к своей безопасности более серьезно.
The entire security detail needs to be investigated.
"The alleged attacker" for goodness sake, he is the attacker.
It's just broadcasting and legal guidelines that news outlets have to follow.
@@Skygrey2943Albeit utterly nonsensical in this case.
@@chamoto2 Yet they still have to be followed.
Innocent until proven guilty
@@helicoptergunship I believe that originally “Judged by a Jury of his peers” meant judged by those who had witnessed the crime. The origin of a jury I believe was in cases where guilt was in doubt. “Alleged” is a popular reporting nicety which is redundant in cases like this. In many cases applied to the facts; “alleged killing” for example.
The body guards should have been around the Prime Minister protecting him.
no one expected it will turn this way our country is very safe in terms of real gun violence or other bigger crimes like torrorism so most of our defence personel are trained very little and dont expect more than a fist fight arguments or pickpocketing
Maybe they were watching the mobs.😮
They were. The shooter was 15 to 20 feet away and was subdued within 2 seconds. There are always clowns on YT ready to critique everything.
@@gordonhopkins4658 Body guards are shields for any leader, it's not how far the shooter is.
All body Guards and police help CIA for this association of great human and honest with this country and public this PM 😢
It shouldn’t happen anywhere 😢
I'm not sure of the circumstances here but people will be pushed so far before cracking.
I do hope the Prime minister survives this terrible attempt to stop the democratic leader. Prayers for a speedy recovery from England ❤
the government controlling the media sounds very democratic
This should not happen in any country but his governtment is becoming very undemocratic : )
@@andrejkelcik4133neojebavaj zmrd Fico vypínal weby a zatváral ľudí bez dôkazov ako liberálny fašisti??
@@andrejkelcik4133 thank you for letting me know it was west and US block that tried this assassination attempt
They just said he will survive
I long for the day I don't hear the same words said in every single news report of a tragic issue that happens around the world
Watch this at .25 speed and watch each close guard securities reactions. Then watch each police officer. Then watch the plain clothes office enter from the right side in all black. The close guard in blue, closes to the PM actually MOVES AWAY FROM HIM. There are 3 shots no response to the first 2 shots like the one officer in black suite near the shooter responded immediately he is in black suite.
like they would know this is a prepared scenario, looks like staged, there is also no blood on scene, after 3 wounds... Maybe good old fascist tactic when Hitler torched the Reichstag to blame Communists, then his troops attacked German station wearing Polish uniforms to justify attack on Poland. We will see if there will be some "retaliation" against opposition.
So whats your point?
@@70sivarto that some of the bodyguards failed at their job
I believe this could be any country in europe who dares to question the narrative.
Whatski, komrade?
That narrative like Mary Poppins😮
question the narrative.🦜parroted all the time every were IS the narrative
What narrative?
@@CC-xn5xi
The war narrative particularly in third case. He Also just recently showed the middle finger to WHO.
Slovak democracy is very stable... if somebody REAAAALLY does not agree, they have the proper channels to express their opinions, as demonstrated.
Shut up, I live in Slovakia and democracy isn't stable, the state is controlled by a corrupt mafia connected to Russia.
@@abot5381 Very fashionable thing to say... but not very clever. The home of super hyper mega freedom, America had possibly the most assassinated presidents so far. Dictators on the other hand rarely get even a mercy kill on their death beds, unless the CIA has anything to do with it.
Worthless security guards.
the CZcams armchair analyst
I fear this may Just be the first of the start..i thoughts be with him and family.and may he recover quickly.
he is not living with his family, he is f@cking young girl...
So this is what happens when a leader of a nation is skeptical of both, WHO and WEF!
Lol anyone got gps on killary?
And nato
Well, considering Orban is still alive and well I would bet that had nothing to do with it. Imagine killing someone because of anything related to the WHO...
This is what happens when you start supressing freedom of speech, democracy and support corruption
Just because he is not puppet of US.
Guess all those security guys will be unemployed now
Don't you mean collecting their bonuses
not all, bu some for sure are absolutely not fit for a security job looking at the video - the 2 closes to falling prime minister jumped away from him dodging bullets - totl oposite that u expec from a trained bodyguard - should jump towards him protecting him with own bodies - i know it easy for me to say that, but if you are not prepared to act like that, you are not a good fit for a bodyguard. There was one policeman (not bodyguard) running directly in the shot trajectory more brave than several of the bodyguards with bulletproof wests
In totally unrelated news, Slovakia recently refused to sign onto the WHO Pandemic Treaty out of concerns that it would weaken Slovakia's position as a sovereign state and also refused to open Slovakia’s borders to the free-for-all that’s going on across Europe and N America…..
Where did you get this info, please. I would like to read it?
@@ryand141 Goes on all the time As for info open your eyes. Have a close look at the Ukraine leader, no not zelensky im talking about the real one who is in prison because he didn't want to follow the orders.
this kind of thing you are saying is exactly why shootings like this happen, people who just dont understand the facts of the matter will bang on and on and on and on about conspiracy theories and ideological nonsense until something like this happens and they still dont see their role in it
Just came to say this.
@@ryand141 We can’t share links in comments on YT, so you’ll have to go digging to get past all today’s news. Maybe avoid using Google, as well. But you can search for things like “Slovakia Shocks the World: New Prime Minister Rejects Signing the WHO Pandemic Treaty” or “WHO pandemic treaty is targeted by Slovak disinformation actors” and you should find plenty
Corrupt! Paid off! A crowd of 10 people and one bodyguard for every two spectators? Still they have no clue!
Since this PM was behind rejecting criminal WHO pandemic treaty, Investigating dirty IMF corrupt actions over pandemic and last but not least rejected to participate in USA-Russia proxy war in Ukraine , US black ops had to restore democracy in this location!!
Plandemic. Get it right.
Yes, and the lizard people who rule the world and who live on other side of the flat earth directed this.
As an American, can confirm you shall be free whether you like it or not
this is all big lie he was spreading in Slovakia, in reality Robert Fico signed all documents with WHO, and now he is a big friend with USA and is getting to seal new deal and buy more F-16 jets from bad bad USA...
Ukraine is not a USA proxy war, it is a plane and stupid RuZZian Fascist aggression.
America again ?
CIA
EU WGP. Don't like leaders ,who disobey..evil union

It could never be the USA, .....could it?
@@vitaliibruelov9490 Here now in Ireland we are being called just that,or Racist. WHY. because being under the power and control off EU WGP,is the biggest Evil..we have found out to our lost.
Cops in the white shirts didn't seem too fussed.
The one on the right hand side seems to just run away when the shots go off
Security have never expected they will have to do their job
that is slovakia almost no one here fear guns becouse legally very little peaple have access to it and other ways too so there were almost no gun crimes in our history we can be glad that badyguards didnt run away becouse most of them had used gun or seen used gun only in movies and in theire training so it must have shok them see it in congratulating to our prime minister
@@matejmatuska6700тогда почему у этого писателя оказался пистолет в руках? Готовился за ранее?
so what were his bodyguards doing?
Especially the far left guy in navy blue suit at the start of video.
They were caught by surprise obviously. And then had 2 seconds to act.
My boy on the left was like "I ain't dying today, let me get out of the way"
He has the body armor I believe?
i would never put my life in danger for a corrupt politician like fico
@@Sara-nd8oj I'm not from Slovakia, but i know that there is a reason he was shot, he's probably involved in massive corruption.
@@mapsexpert i am from slovakia and youre correct, he is a corrupt politician. he is in the mafia, a manipulator and he has stolen millions from the eurofunds 👍🏻
@@Sara-nd8oj do you prefer Killary?
"alleged" attacker?!
you know how the justice system works and why it works that way, don't ask stupid questions
@@RenaissanceYute so we cant ask stupid questions on shity social media
😂😂😂 I am sure he isn’t immigrant
Wellll....attacked Alleger😮
The media always use "alleged" and "suspect" before the conviction.
"Apparent assasination attempt"? What else can it be? The guy thought he was just firing fireworks?
Was he anti-globalist per chance ?
no, he used Fascist voters to get to power, now he is turning around and wants to buy more F-16 fighter jets from bad bad USA..
He is Anti immigration anti ukrainian anti lgbt anti eu he is good
Yes he was
Healing prayers for a swift recovery.
Wrong image on the video guys
It's correct now & the Modi story has its own video.
A few assassinations and attempts recently - shinzo Abe, Salman Rushdie, the Argentine vice president..
Surely there would be involvement from inside..... it's not not possible to shot with security service
only one bodyguard ran around the barrier
there was one in the crowd grabbing him for the neck from behind, there was no time to run around the fence, but sure mistakes were made by the bodyguards - will be investigated. Just for your info, previous government didnt trained the guards well
Whacked by the WEF.
While this (and I wish the man well, and a speedy & safe recovery) is not a Sarajevo moment (those who know history will know what I refer to) it clearly IS a moment for European Leaders to stop and contemplate the path they are ALL, COLLECTIVELY taking Europe internally together.
Sounds like he was taking steps to become a dictator.
Series of terrible questions for C4,in a time of great sadness for a PM fighting for his Life. All he can ask is how the PM contributed to bringing about his own attack. Jot concerned about his survival.Terrible
They can’t keep their liberal agenda controlled for one second
Not one of those body guards did a thing to protect him 😂
They were surprised and had 1or 2 seconds to act... what did you expect?
the lack of reaction from the 'crowd'.. when the bodyguards are in full response
The gunshots sound like firecrackers 🧨 which is maybe why no one else seems to be particularly interested..unless the sound was edited. When you see Americans firing their guns, they usually wear ear protection with good reason..
They subdued the attacker within 2 seconds. How much quicker do you expect them to react?
is that funny?
Another internet tough guy fantasizing about his Bruce lee reactions from his mother's basement
Wishing PM of Slovakia a speedy recovery. May he, his family and the citizens take comfort in prayers to Jesus. VIVA CHRISTO REY!!! ✝️⚓❤️🙏
Whelp one way mission for that dude....doubt you'll see him ever again once they get all of his credentials.😮
Orban better be careful. US/EU making their moves.
EU WGP. starting to panic, now the people's of the world have awakened
Ah yes, the EU... murderous organization known for killing their own members.
Juraj Cintula, the suspect was a member of the Slovenskí Branci, a pro Russian paramilitary group.
The prime minister who vowed to defund/dearm ukraine? Shocker.
Im in slovakia. And one of this is false information. He only got shot 3 times. Once in the leg, once in the stomach, and once in the neck.
The P.M. might have been shot 3x however, you can hear that several shots were fired; The information at the time was not exact but updating.
The fear of getting anything done.😮
Pledged not to send a single bullet to Ukraine..now look where the bullets ended up...
Just one question : Cui bono?
we will see whether the stands on EU will be changed or not.
“This shouldn’t happen in Slovakia” lady this shouldn’t happen ANYWHERE🤦🏻♀️
Why bring on an opposition politician?
That is a good observation. Im sure he has members of his own party who can make a statement. We know why though. She is probably pro ukraine, globalism etc.
Why ask opposition politician and listen to her BS
Because she is the President of Slovakia.
Because the right wingers don't have the IQ to speak English
where do you see a opposition politician?
Mad the old lady standing there didn't even seem to notice something was happening
we are not you from america when all of you have a gun most peaple even son of the alleged atacker didnt even know he dad a gun if it was him and somone didnt just use him to get away so bodyguards didnt know what happened untill 2 seconds after the shots becouse again slovakia rarelly see anything more serious than pickpocketing or car accidents so most of our bodyguards and other peaple are just gurding things of our presidents and prime ministers
Anyone that forced mandates should hold no power
A deadly riot in New Caledonia and an assassination atrempt in Slovakia. A wild day today.
security detail acts like homeland insecurity inusa
Anyone noticed the security detail guy in navy blue suit in far left at start of video ran to his right instead of toward the shooter? He was looking toward that direction of shooter too. Very curious move.
No? Went back and watched too
watched a full hd version of the whole incident and the 2 guards next fo falling prime minister are absolute cowards and not fit for a bodyguard job - jumping away from the bullets exposing the VIP istead of the oposite
Should have never been that close to the public without body armour, scary times.
Who put the hit on this guy? Im surprised this doesn't happen more often in the world we live in.
I didn't see the police respond quickly
Consciousness is arisen but these are the last days now
Keep safe humanity ❤
Oh no mention of the word terrorist, because he was one them 😅
The real terrorists
"Terrorism" is usually committed against the civilians of a country to coerce those in power to do something or stop doing something, it's not against those actually in power. When you get those in power, it's an "assassination". So no, terrorism isn't the right word to use in this context. But feel free to keep grifting.
what goes round comes around….
If now is NOT the time - to talk about divisions - when is?
Maybe when the political temperature cools down a bit. Probably not within the same 24 hours as an assignation attempt.
Brutal censorship from the perpetrators of crime.
Polarisation …
'This shouldn't happen in Slovakia'? Welcome to a world of discontent.
EU values on full display....the best way to silence a leader advocating peace talks between Zelensky and Putin.

audience is not trained to experience that, mainly elder people were there - his main electorate
unbelievable how both policemen (in white shirts) react. One runs for life in the opposite direction and the other one is brain dead to what is happening...
There are a lot of hunters in Slovakia and a few shooting ranges, but guns are strictly regulated. Not many people have handguns and very few are allowed to carry them.
Bad people are everywhere in this world
Orban is next?
Strange how often these events happen to those who oppose a certain alliance. Coups seem to occur, pipelines get blown up, politicians get 'eliminated'.
How can somebody with a gun get so close???? Definitely a security issue.
Winston Marshall: Populism is Democracy
Jesus is KING in Slovakia
Something's not quite right. Guards are way too slow to react, spectators are not immediately going for cover, almost no reaction you would expect from anybody hearing and probably seeing shots fired right next to you. The officer in white calmly observing the perimeter.
Zaujímalo by ma kto toto natáčal! Niekto kto im pomáhal ho odstrániť, lebo chce mier v EU? Vieme , že je politická objednávka.
*prayers from American people to Slovakia right now*
The USA did this though, so🤷
How can many body guards fail to protect the prime minister? May be they collaborated with the shooter.. This world is full of wickesness.
Now, those who believe as he does have increased by 5000%...
Its like movie drama how lazy and unawared his bodyguards are
ROFL, here we go. Let's see who they blame
Probably a butt hurt Ukrainian
Looks like the body guard where paid to do nothing, none of them drew their weapons, they all ran away rather than to their PM,
Is there any possibility of this trend being launched in USA and UK?
Being a prime minister seems to be a dangerous job
Čoskoro sa uzdravte, pán premiér! Robert, tvoja krajina ťa potrebuje!
Скорейшего выздоровления , господин премьер министр! Роберт, вы нужны своей стране!
Everyone will blame the security, yes, maybe they failed. But the Japanese Prime Minister had 138 top-trained bodyguards, and it didn't help him-the shooter killed him on the street. There is always this risk on the street.
That’s what admiring tne POOT gets you…. It is what it is…..
Japan's PM Fumio Kishida and Russia's Putin believes the perpetrator who shot Fico had possible links to Tetsuya Yamagami, who killed Shinzo Abe last year.
no, the shooter is a member of a pro Russian paramilitary group in Slovakia, so it may be a FSB action.
Mossad? NATO or CIA?
Putin
FSB? The shooter was a pro Russian far right para military group member.
No no security is seems useless 5 shutting is way too much.
Didn't he just openly state he would not agree to the WHO treaty????
he did in Slovakia, and then he signed all documents with WHO and even there is his speech recorded how he supports all the WHO efforts. He is a populist liar.
🥺🥺🥺🥺
😮😢
Sejarah 'WW2' dicatat, dengan menyatakan terjadi pada masa itu di 'whole world'.
Ada pertanyaan; " apakah pada masa itu ada yang telah menginvasi negara anggota dari benua di amerika??".

Artinya sejarah telah dicatat secara keliru atau konyol!....

The history of 'WW2' is recorded, stating that it took place in the 'whole world'.
There is a question; "did anyone invade the member states of the continent of the Americas at that time?".
The land area in the Pacific is not part of the continent of the Americas!
This means that history has been recorded incorrectly or ridiculously!....

To be fair, the BBC wouldn't know until the CIA told them first
