The Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico said that there was another attempted murder against his life. According to him, this happened on October 6, when Fico attended celebrations dedicated to the anniversary of the Carpathian-Duklin operation during World War II.

Second attempt on the life of Fico

Several members of the government and members of parliament, including the President of Slovakia Peter Pellegrini, attended the celebrations.

"We caught a very militant person who hates me for my position towards Ukraine. He was armed, fortunately, he did not get into the area where we, the politicians, were, but went to the area where the crowd was. There he passed through the metal detector frame, it was discovered that he had a fully loaded gun," Fico said.

He also recalled the previous assassination attempt that occurred in May this year in the city of Handlova, and expressed the opinion that he was "very lucky" then.

Let us recall that on May 15, in the Slovak city of Handlova, an assassination attempt was made on Robert Fico while he was talking to people after a parliamentary session.

Previously, the Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico said that he would block Ukraine's accession to NATO while he is in power. He believes that if Kyiv is "given the green light" for membership in the Alliance, it will lead to World War III.
