- Slovakia is in shock - one day after a gunman tried to take the life of its prime minister. Robert Fico remains in a stable but serious condition tonight. The controversial pro-Russian leader was accused of deepening the political divide within his country. Now, as people from across the political spectrum wish him well, there are hopes that Slovaks' shared outrage could lead to a less polarized society.
For more on this, we talk to Viktória Bellová. She reports for the Slovakian TV news channel RTVS and joins us from the capital Bratislava.
And we talk to our Correspondent Jack Parrock, who is outside the hospital where Robert Fico is being treated.

he needs to fire all his bodyguards. none jumped to save him
He already did. When he got back into power, he fired all the professional guards and hired his loyal, unskilled staff, as well as all other positions, all investigators of his crimes, and directors of state-owned companies. This is a person who places unqualified but loyal people everywhere, which results in such outcomes.
@@komentujemjeblevidea8175 Sounds like Putin too...
It is so obvious that Victoria is enormous scared that she doesn't report accurately on this. The video of the perpetrator has indeed leaked out and we all know what he said, but despite that she doesn't repeat it and stays vague. That should say more than enough about the 'climate' there. Slovakia has become a dangerous place, sadly.
Serious question, do Slovakian body guards have to throw themselves in front of bullets like the US secret service are required to do?
yes, it's their job to protect at the cost to their lives
Of course they blame the media for inflaming things... However, Slovakia is lucky to have freedom of speech. They score very high on the freedom index. However, regardless of its freedom, I do not condone violence at all.
5 kulí jako v Sarajevu
Fico is stable and will recover! WEF will be disappointed!
And WHO and UN as well.
❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🍀🍀🍀odważny człowiek broniący Europę przed zielonym ładem i eksperymentami mRNA ❤️🍀🙏 pozdrawiam 🇵🇱 z Polski
any Slovakians people here that could describe the national feeling? I am actually curious
The Slovak society has been extremely polarised for years and Fico has been one of the most divisive figures in Slovak politics, but of course, almost everyone has condemned this assassination attempt. All the major public figures and politicians have said after the assassination attempt that this polarisation absolutely has to stop and that we must now work towards some kind of national reconciliation, but only time will tell if this effort will be successful. A lot of people are not very hopeful that it will be.
Slovenská spoločnosť je naozaj extréme polarizovaná...najrozdeľujúcejšími postavami sú súčasná opzícia (liberálno-progresívna ) a "ich" média,spnzorované oligarchami .terajšia opozícia sa nevie zmieriť s prehrou v parlamentných voľbách a voľbou nového prezidenta.Fico nieje pro -ruský,Fico je za politiku na všetky 4 svetové strany.
Basically what is happening... Slovak society is divided between 2 groups. Half of Slovaks are more western oriented while second half sees us more closer to Russia. This have been going for years. Politicians were for years escalating situation, blaming people with different views, attacking and mocking other side. It is so bad that there are families not talking to each other because of that. I think this what happened was definitely expected... I deprecate what happened and I hope Fico will be fine. But I definitely wasn't suprised what happened. Main politicians are asking people to calm down now but there are politicians still trying to use this situation for their benefits so not sure how it will go...
We was talking about this at work when it happened. Most opinions was in the line: its bad that it happened, we wished him good luck, and then we continued to discuss more important things.
Am Slovak and know situation pretty well, ask me anything if you want
This whole unfortunate incident is not surprising and again demonstrates that ALL leaders have an obligation and responsibility to choose their words carefully and act in the interest of ALL people - not their own agenda or ego. They place their own lives at risk. It only requires ONE person (the shooter) to act this way especially in a heavy polarised environment in this manner.
Did you see how all his bodyguards run away from him... it happens every time.
I checked the video again and saw that his bodyguards were not running away , rather , coming towards him to protect,.watch carefully and you will see
My sympathies to the Slovakian people from Hungary! Hopefully your oligarchs will tone things down a bit now and won't do the same things ours did/already do, like buying up the media creating an echo chamber where everyone else's voice is stifled or flat-out muted. These Putin-lovers love to cement their rule and it is incredibly hard to remove them from power through legal means, especially if the media gets compromised fully. I wish you guys well!
Spoiler alert - rhey won't. They are already accusing oposition and independent media that it's their faukt Fico was shot. At the same time, tbe very same oposition leaders and independent media are telling us ti be calm and to not express our opinions towards Fico and his.mafia henchmen in this critical moment. So in short - Fico's oligarchs are using this oportunity to mute the oposition down while oposition is mjting itself down preemptively, thus surrendering to the oligarchs and their plans to steal the country's freedom. I am afraid, that after this Slovakia will become a dystopian country with dismantled media and kther democratic principles.
You do not know people around Fico, right after incident they were and are still blaming media, opposition etc.! This was just beginning! They will never stop polarizing society, blaming others for their mistakes! I think something more serious will happen!
I like how russian news channel taking the interview too
Oh god.. why not netanyahu
🙏
Wishing good recovery. Sending prayer for you and your family.
Its democracy if we all agree and walk the same path , that's liberal democracy .
The bodyguards have been inadequately trained, that is given; they never assumed such violence in SK could be expected, as it never ever happened. They learned their lesson now, hope will perform serious drills and training to get the required skills until planted to minds, skin and bones…
They just said with that injury in the gut..could you imagine????? He will never be the same.
This is ridiculous, you can't get close to the people, being secluded around certain people and placed you have to be mentally strong for that.
The crazy thing is that the lady in the interview said we have never had violence in our country.ww1 and ww2 started in her country.
In Slovakia? Wow I didn't know that! No wonder these things are happening there😱
Not WW2
ww1 and ww2 started in Slovakia? OK bro!! :)
@@joelf634a reason behind why world wars started. You need to read more poli sci and history
@@snehchive I will not study history of non existing Multiverse
He should get out and make Many Men pt 2 with 50 Cent.
for most of people in Slovakia is more important next day weather, than some Fico
Yeah, and that's the way it is. Poland, the same way.
Isn't it the next salary? You are poor!
@@_general_error where r u from? We are not that poor:)
Remember to check your FICO score if you don’t wanna end up like that guy.
Are you saying that people should not have different opinions?
@@araara4746 yes people should definitely not be corrupt liars ex communists stealing money lol
@@araara4746he is just joking. FICO score is a credit score people in US uses. To borrow money and get loans.
Ha ha ha...Russian Mafia may come..
He works for Mi6
Wish him fast and full recovery. The killer did not get his wish, he should not be able to see day light ever.
Peace and LOVE Upon ONE and ALL
Live, mr Fico , in the name of Justice. Amen
I don't agree with violence, even against politicians, but since he was a Putin supporter I can't feel sorry for him either.
All Pakistan prayer and especially my family are prayer to ALLAH Pak insha'ALLAH insha'ALLAH he will recover amen 🤲 sum amen 😭😭😭
Same in the US, media keeps the divide going, generates news.
The people standing right next to the gunman kept standing there like this was just another day. And the people protecting the pm literally ran away from him while he was falling to the ground. Haha
WEF clowns failed.
all this country sux years back this is result hope he will recovered
Former communist like Putin
As Russian I need to say: Putin hates communism
HZDS is back
What makes him controversial DW?
DW is encouraging to the same thing as Slovakian media managed to do.
"...controversial..." I'll answer for DW - it's because he clearly supports fascist Russia against Ukraine, although Slovakia is a member of the democratic EU
@@evaluateanalysis7974 Falsely naming Russia "fascist" is a lie calculated to maintain the genocide lasting since 2nd May 2014. You are co-guilty of what's happening in Ukraine.
He strongly condemns Russia for violating international law by attacking Ukraine. He just didn't want to provide more weapons to Ukraine. He has also had several meetings with the Ukrainian government about humanitarian aid for the Ukrainian people but he didnt wanna fuel to UA more weapons
@@LegionInfanterie He dont want to send weapons for free, He is completely fine with selling the weapons :)
The world is a Mafia stage headed by a senile leader, and The 5 families 😮
You reap what you sow
He spoke the truth in his speeches .. prayers that he recovers & God will make him bolder than ever !!!
I dont remember DW or europe at all been so shock when FICO KILLED A JOURNALIS AND HIS GIRLFRIEND, but ye toughts and prayers....
Stay strong Fico 💪
God save the President Robert Fico🙏❤
Ukraine, WEF or CIA…
Pro Russia? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Germany also has a gray mustache ,like the indo european man of the east ,,,,like german leadera
He's anti war, anti WHO, anti BS,
Medicamentation
I hope Fico will take some backsteps from this traumatizing event and reconsider himself as a human being.
He will not. He will be even more vindicative and more harsh towards oposition. He will basically become dicator with full power. Now he will not stop. He will use this oportunity to steal the country and even EU will not dare to opose him. RIP Slovakia.
The Western must be very dissapointed he's still alive.
Four slugs to the gut is almost always fatal; no matter how quickly you get to surgery. If he is really out of life threatening danger, he is beyond lucky. The speed to the hospital and the skill of the medical staff is all that kept him from Valhalla. Many in the West either shrugged their shoulders or celebrated upon learning of this news. I'm sure he will note every single one of them should he recover enough to return to his duties one day.
It's all luck or destiny, there's been guys with a dozen wounds in a batlle who lived to be a hundred years old and there's a guy who died getting out of his bathtub.
it's slovakiA not slovakii you bright minded ...
It is Ficoland

Russian agent must come to his senses now
Prayers to him and his famuly man just need to think about how hes living his life people wNt to kill u now if i was him i would retire yall can have this.
I wish the man well...his pro Russia leanings make him a man in the crosshairs. The war between ideas is not a EU strong point, and a reason why I think the EU will fail.
Right
Slava Ukraini 🇩🇪
I really wonder if normal Europeans are this hostile to Russia
CIA
"CIA" and your evidence is?
Bot can only manage 3 letters.
@@fritzraake22exactly.
It was Putin
His aggressive„Nationalist“ Style means you are disappointed like a number of Western Politician disappointed .Main message is the one‘s who are not in the same line of Political Cosa Nostra in EU and Nato lead by US don‘t live safe.
And now tell us something about how Earth is flat.
Mossad and CIA are good at it
Is it so hard to believe people in a country are unhappy and 0.00001% is willing to kill? Not saying everything is not possible but unhappy population is a way more plausible motive
Uk or America behind this 😊
Putin
We have to love the Maffia leader Fico otherwise we go to Jail…that is the law here…
😂
CIA
Americans couldn't delete Robert Fico's YT comments, so tried to delete him.
"Americans...tried to delete him." You realise that the perpetrator has been identified as a Slovakian don't you?
71 old local poet ? What else do you believe in ? Flat Earth ?
@@boctunes1853 Exactly. You're right.
I live here for almost 40 years and know that if someone is a political activist (so called "poet") like this one and is able to get a gun and, then he is a secret agent.
@@Northerner-Not-A-Doctor Vazne ? A co mi este povies ? Ty budes dobry trtko :))
@@boctunes1853 Nic ci nie powiem, a po co? Co bym nie powiedział, to i tak będziesz się kłócił, bo widzę znaki Sekty Bestii, które pokazujesz w komentarzach.
Sadly, Fico will survive.
Just like your Fico score always survives never goes away.
To be pro-Slovak does not mean to be pro-Russian..
No, he and people around him are prorussian! They say it open!

@@TheTwangKingsdon’t hold your breath
WHO, WEF, CIA, EU, NATO ... Fico spoke the truth and stood in the way of their agenda. The old man was either paid to do it, or they had something on him. I do not believe that the old man acted alone.
God bless FICO
Shame on Slovaks voting for a Putin supporter.
At least they can exercise the free choice that democracy requires, not the herd mentality you espouse.
@@sparxumlilo4003❤️ ano, slobodne sme si zvolili...opozícia sa s tým nevie zmieriť...máme to tu divoké
He strongly condemns Russia for violating international law by attacking Ukraine. He just didn't want to provide more weapons to Ukraine. He has also had several meetings with the Ukrainian government about humanitarian aid for the Ukrainian people
He is not a Putin supporter and only around 20% of voters voted for him in last year’s election.
Most of us did not.
🤔😔😪 kam vás vedie americká a EÚ DEMOKRACIA???
Bring some more " doctors" and " engeeers" from across the border.Why not?
