If they haven't already stated his condition he's in critical.

[reecom]

Higher level care means specialized doctors, nurses, and operating room not found in a general hospital when a person is shot seriously requiring delicate surgery.

Security for this prime minister is very questionable

[kaisersozajunior]

Victor Orban has just released a statement in which he said he was praying for himself

[janrajcok]

He was shot through Arm and belly (multiple organs hit) at first there where Also reports about head wound but that wasnt confirmed. There were 5 shots. Currently being operated, Still in life threatening condition, suspect IS a 71 year old man (most likely lone Wolf), used gun was legally owned by him, his initials are JC, he IS apparently a poet, Also wrote a pretty rasist book about Roma people, used to work as supermarket security guard, He called Fico to himself to shake hands after he came close to him he started shooting

MOTIVE - dissagreement with goverment politcs

As of 8pm central Europe time he IS Still on operating table in critical condition (previous info about stable condition and that operation was success was wrong)

( All info above IS from Slovak media)

It's big tragedy for our nation....

[robertbeekman]

We are in a world that is collapsing right in front of us.

Hopefully he recovers and gets better.

Did you see when PM arrived at the hospital? Only one person of his security detail was with him. 😮😮
Where are the rest of his security detail??? Weird.

This is what tends to happen when you dare to oppose Nato, even if you are an ally as the Germans found out when their pipeline to Russia was blown up. Par for the course I'm afraid.

[javastream]

It remembers the deadly shooting of prime minister of Serbia Zoran Djindic around 20 years ago.

[XXxCHRISxXX]

Prime Minister security must've been on lunch break.

[pjo]

He was an avowed Pro-Russian leader and refused to arm or assist Ukraine, so we should not be surprised if the alleged shooter 'mysteriously dies in custody'

[billdell]

Wonder who is behind the attack And the gas pipeline ?

[DRAINTVofficial]

It's wild to see my country. Country non of yous ever heard of talked about in major world news outlet

[brkbrk]

10 people around him and still got shot. This tells me that those people are there just for show

[theturningstar]

How were the bodyguards able to let this happen multiple times...

[dana_roth]

I'm from Slovakia, i didn't vote for Robert Fico, but I'm completely horrified this happened to him. He was elected in a fair democratic election, therfore he is my representative. I hope he recovers soon.
