Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, who survived the assassination attempt, believes that the scenario of the attack on the former US leader Donald Trump, who intends to aspire to the top government post, has been carried out “like a spear“.
„The script is a copy. Trump's political opponents are trying to shut him down. When they fail, they incite society until some poor person takes up arms,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
Slovak President Peter Pellegrini also offered words of support to the American politician. “I strongly condemn the shooting of Donald Trump during his election campaign and I am deeply concerned that violence permeates politics around the world. The citizens of the United States and all other democracies around the world should choose their president in elections, not shoot in the streets,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Fizzo suffered multiple gunshot wounds during the May 15 assassination attempt and underwent a number of surgeries. The attacker has been detained. This is the 71-year-old writer Juraj Sintula. He is accused of attempted murder for political reasons. The Prosecutor General of Slovakia, Maros Žilinka, announced on July 4 the decision to reclassify the charge of attempted terrorist act.
