A far-left activist has purportedly shot the Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico on Wednesday, May 15, 2024. The attempted assassination was caught on film. The suspect, 71-year-old Jurak Cintula, said he allegedly shot Fico over free speech rights, which he says Fico is infringing on. Slovak authorities have been quick to claim Cintula acted alone.
The President-Elect of Slovakia, Peter Pellegrini, said of the assassination that it was “an unprecedented threat to Slovak democracy. If we express other political opinions with pistols in squares, and not in polling stations, we are jeopardizing everything that we have built together over 31 years of Slovak sovereignty.” As of right now, Fico is listed as being in stable, but serious condition.
