Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico was injured on Wednesday in a shooting at the venue of the government’s offsite meeting, the Pravda news agency reported, adding that the attacker was detained.

"Robert Fico was wounded after an offsite meeting of the government. The attacker shot several times. He was detained by police," the report said.

According to Pravda, the attacker made several shots before the police detained him.

The incident occurred after the government meeting when Fico came out to to the public. The prime minister was rushed to a hospital by helicopter.

Earlier, the government of Slovakia decided to focus on humanitarian aid and no longer send weapons to Ukraine. The Cabinet led by Robert Fico did not approve the proposal of the previous government, which concerned sending another package of military aid to Ukraine worth 40.3 million euros. It mainly involved ammunition. This package of military aid was supposed to be the 14th from Slovakia; since February 2022, the republic has sent weapons, ammunition, and equipment to Ukraine worth 671 million euros.

"The disinformation casts doubts about ceding state sovereignty to the WHO during a health crisis, implementing mandatory vaccination, or monitoring citizens’ movements.

Prime Minister Robert Fico (SMER) stated in November: “This nonsense could only be invented by greedy pharmaceutical companies, which began to perceive resistance from some governments against mandatory vaccination.”

Far-right MEP Milan Uhrík (Republika/NI) accused the WHO of seeking to take control over the pandemics and vaccination worldwide."

It’s been almost 2 years since Shinzo Abe was assassinated in Japan.

Wonder if the timing of this one has anything in common with that one.

Keep in mind that Fico is in many ways a full-on hard leftist.

Among other things: In the wake of the shooting, Slovakia’s major opposition parties, Progressive Slovakia and Freedom and Solidarity, canceled a planned protest against a controversial government plan to overhaul public broadcasting that they say would give the government full control of public radio and television.
