Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico is rushed to car after being shot [Video]

WARNING: DISTRESSING CONTENT. Slovakia’s populist Prime Minister Robert Fico is in life-threatening condition after being wounded in a shooting after a political event Wednesday afternoon, according to his Facebook profile.Reports on TA3, a Slovakian TV station, said Fico, 59, was hit in the stomach after four shots were fired outside the House of Culture in the town of Handlova, some 93 miles northeast of the capital, where the leader was meeting with supporters. A suspect has been detained, it said.A message posted to Fico’s Facebook account said the leader “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.”The shooting in Slovakia comes three weeks ahead of crucial European Parliament elections, in which populist and hard-right parties in the 27-nation bloc appear poised to make gains.Deputy speaker of parliament Lubos Blaha confirmed the incident during a session of Slovakia’s Parliament and adjourned it until further notice, the Slovak TASR news agency said.Read more at https://nypost.com/2024/05/15/world-news/slovakia-prime-minister-robert-fico-shot-during-government-meeting-report/#slovakia #robertfico #news #shooting The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.Subscribe to New York Post Sports: https://www.youtube.com/c/nypostsportsCatch the latest news here: https://nypost.com/Follow The New York Post on:Twitter – https://twitter.com/nypostFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/NYPost
