RT and some unofficial sources are saying that he was conscious upon arrival at the hospital, and that his condition is now stable.

There's no new info about his condition in the Slovak media as well as on his FB account at the present, but if he's stable it is good sign. Apparently he got shot in stomach which is pretty serious.

According to current information, the shooter is supposed to be 71-year-old Juraj C. from Levice, who is one of the founders of Literaly Club DÚHA. Juraj C. previously worked in a private security service.

There are also circulating photos of middle aged man handcuffed, maybe an accomplice.

Attempt on Slovak Prime Minister Fico: can Russia be involved in this

• On May 15, there was an attempt on the Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, who was seriously wounded in the stomach and chest.
• Russian propagandists suggested a Ukrainian "trace" in this crime.
• Oleksandr Musienko believes that the attempt could have been planned by Russia and aimed at increasing the chances of anti-European forces to enter the European Parliament before the upcoming elections.
• Russia may use this incident to spread disinformation in Europe.

From the videos available, it looks like it was primarily a failure of Fico's security guys who reacted only after the 71 y.o. assassin called Fico's name and fired 4 shots.

Journalists still waiting in front of the hospital for briefing that was promised to take place some hour or two ago.

TV live, press conference in the hospital with two Ministers: Fico is still in the operating room in critical condition. Attack on his life was politically motivated.

That's for you, @youlik

Thanks, but that won't do. Ukrops does not count, they have been crazy for a long time and they have nothing but Russia in their head at all. Some Europeans, Czechs, for example, or the British. At the very least, the Poles.
I'm sorry for being picky.

Spoiler: Russian spelling

Спасибо, но это не годится. Укропы не в счет, они давно сумасшедшие и у них кроме России вообще в голове ничего нет. Какие-нибудь европейцы, чехи, например или британцы. На худой конец поляки.
Простите, что привередничаю.

From Polish "Mysl Polska" (Polish Thought) quoting Hungarian "Magyar Hirlap":

Fico expected an assassination attempt

Prime Minister Robert Fico's political opponents have wished him a speedy recovery, but representatives of the ruling coalition say that it is the opposition and the liberal press, which are constantly ratting against Fico, that are responsible for what has happened.

According to Andrej Danko of the SNS (Slovak National Party), a political war will now begin and there will be changes in the media and in the approach to the opposition. If Fico stays in hospital for a longer period, he will have to be replaced by one of the deputy prime ministers, probably Robert Kaliňák.

It is worth noting that Prime Minister Robert Fico predicted a few weeks ago that someone would be injured due to the incitement of the opposition and the left-liberal press. "I just expect that the frustration caused by Denník N, Šimečka (chairman of Progressive Slovakia) or Aktuality.sk will end in an assassination attempt on one of the ruling party politicians. And this is not at all an exaggeration," said the Slovak Prime Minister. So it did not take long for the prediction to come true.

According to the UK's Sky News, "it is not surprising that this event could have happened", as Robert Fico is "very pro-Russian" and although "Slovakia is not a big player in the EU", like, for example, Hungary, wherever it can, it puts the brakes on and blocks support for Ukraine, which strongly divides society. According to reports in the Slovak press, the Prime Minister is still undergoing surgery.

It is worth mentioning that after the assassination attempt on the Slovak Prime Minister, social networks were flooded with a wave of posts - many of them in Ukrainian - whose authors not only agree with the attacker, but also express the hope that Viktor Orbán also deserves it. Why? Because he does not subordinate himself and does not support Ukraine unconditionally. (...)

Was it a 'lone gunman' or is it that the PTB are taking off their gloves?

Robert Fico has been known to reject the Ukraine joining NATO, the EU migration pact as well as
the WHO Pandemic Treaty.

While most of the characters of the West's political class are usually brought into line by extortion and bribery the international mafia can still revert to an outright assassination to protect their business.

Having watched the footage on X I feel that Fico's security detail has been acting pretty naive and light-hearted on his appearance for this day and age.

Putin commented on the assassination attempt on Fico

Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a telegram to Slovak President Zuzana Chaputova, said he was indignant to learn about the attempt on the life of Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, calling the attack a monstrous crime for which there can be no justification, the corresponding telegram was published on the Kremlin's website.

"Dear Madam President, I was indignant to learn about the attempt on the life of the Chairman of the Government of the Slovak Republic, Robert Fico. This monstrous crime cannot have any justification," the telegram says.

An article about the 'Lone Gunman'.

The "lone gunman," that cartoonish figure that for the last several decades - at least since November 1963 - has regularly framed most high-profile assassinations, has struck again, this time in disobedient Slovakia. He always pops up whenever his presence is required to warn misfits and discipline even team players who are inattentive to their tasks.

I agree, and it was also a warning to Orban in Hungary and others like him, who, like Fico, repeatedly courageously stood on the side of his citizens in Slovakia and fought for the interests of his own country. The desperate PTB will never allow anyone to oppose their plans so openly and show other countries the way to peace and freedom from the murderous grip of the mad elites in the USA, GB, NATO and the EU. In my opinion, Robert Fico's bodyguards even made this attack possible for the attacker, maybe it was their incompetence, or maybe simple bribery?

Fico had another surgery today for necrotic tissues removal. It lasted 2 hours. According to the Minister of Defence Robert Kaliňák, his condition is stable but still severe.

TV Noviny.sk interviewed (in SK, with video) the former head of the Office for the Protection of Constitutional Officers and Diplomatic Missions, Juraj Zábojník. He was very critical about the guards and their slow and chaotic reaction, pointing at the small group of people that should be very easy to control; no cover for the falling PM; one guard literally running away; and none of them being even scratched.

Did security fail in the assassination of the Prime Minister? According to the former head of the Office for the Protection of Constitutional Officers, the officers in Handlová made a number of mistakes. From the operation to the intervention itself. The former head of the security guards is convinced that with the right procedures, the shooting would not even have had to happen.

Slovak security analyst Juraj Zábojník, who was the director of the Office for the Protection of Constitutional Officers and Diplomatic Missions, found several mistakes when analysing the security intervention.

According to him, the reactions of its members were slow and some gave the impression that they did not even know how to react. According to Zábojník, the suspicious behaviour of the attacker just before the assassination should have been noticed by the security guards.

A screenshot from this video showing Fico approaching the group of people and then the shooting. See on the picture Fico already bending after first shots were fired, and the guards still relaxed, with hands down, two staring at the gun, the third on the left not even looking in that direction.
