A Facebook post from PM Fico’s account states he is in life-threatening condition: “R. Fico was assassinated today. He has been shot multiple times and is currently in life-threatening condition. At this moment he is transported by helicopter to Banská Bystrica, because it would take too long to get to Bratislava due to the necessity of an acute procedure. The next few hours will decide.”

71-year-old activist writer Juraj Cintula has been identified as the shooter. Police have stated they do not know the motive.
The Slovakian PM has recently rejected the WHO’s pandemic treaty, and called the WHO a Big Pharma creation that seeks to control governments.
