Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico faced a critical assassination attempt by Juraj Cintula, a 71-year-old man with dissent against Fico's policies, particularly regarding arms shipments to Ukraine.
Fico's decision to halt arms deliveries after his election victory drew backlash, allegedly motivating Cintula's actions.
Described as a "lone wolf" with no extremist affiliations, Cintula's frustrations with government decisions may have been accelerated by the recent presidential election results.
Both allies and opposition leaders denounced the attack, highlighting its threat to Slovakia's democracy.
Cintula's background as a former security guard and poet adds complexity to the situation.
The incident occurred amid debates over the dissolution of Slovakia's public broadcaster, further heightening concerns about political stability.
Fico's condition remains serious as Slovakia awaits updates on his recovery.

Italy and Spain have pushed back against the EU’s plan to double military aid to Ukraine, citing concerns over timing and ongoing diplomatic talks. The proposal, led by EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, aims to raise aid from €20 billion to €40 billion by 2025. While northern and eastern EU nations strongly support the move, southern countries like Italy and Spain are urging caution. Even France has voiced concerns, adding to the growing divide within the bloc. Hungary and Slovakia have outright refused to participate, but EU officials say their opposition won't derail the plan.
