24-5-17 Assassination Attempt: Slovakia's Prime Minister Fico || PZ > . 

On 15 May 2024, Prime Minister of Slovakia Robert Fico was shot and critically injured in an assassination attempt in Handlová, Slovakia. The shooting occurred in front of the town's House of Culture after a government meeting, and Fico was taken to a hospital where he was stabilised after undergoing emergency surgery. A suspect was detained by police at the scene.

Comment: To explain Fico: he's a bitter former communist who had to "change coats" in the 1990s and become a 'socialist.' He is the worst kind of populist with devilish charisma and extreme political intelligence. His superpower is to be able to give an impromptu speech in almost any venue (in public, on TV debates) and be very coherent and aggressive. His debate skills are unmatched in Slovakia. He is the greatest panderer in European politics to his aged, rural base who is nostalgic for the 'good old days' of communism. He used to hate Viktor Orbán because of the Slovak/Hungarian ethnic politics, but now loves him for creating a blueprint for becoming an autocrat. The playbook: anti-EU, anti-Ukraine, anti-free press. He regularly calls them things like "dirty whores."
