“I think he will survive in the end. At the moment he is not in a life-threatening situation,” the minister said, according to TASS.
Taraba added that Fico’s operation was successful.
Let us remember that the attempted assassination of the Prime Minister occurred on Wednesday afternoon during a Government retreat. The shooting began immediately after the prime minister came into public view.
As a result, Fico suffered several injuries. He was transported by helicopter from the scene of the emergency to the hospital, where he underwent surgery. The media later reported that the politician was placed in an induced coma.
It is already known that the attacker is the Slovak writer Juraj Chintula. The man was arrested. According to the police, he committed the crime for political reasons.
