Prema medijskim izveštajima, slovački populistički premijer Robert Fico povređen je u pucnjavi i prebačen u bolnicu. Sve se dogodilo u gradu Handlova, oko 150 kilometara severoistočno od prestonice.
Nakon pucnjave, predsednica Evropske komisije, Urusla von den Lajen je preko svog tviter naloga snažno osudila napad na premijera Fica.
„Snažno osuđujem podli napad na premijera Roberta Fica. Takvim aktima nasilja nema mesta u našem društvu i potkopava demokratiju. Moje misli su sa premijerom Ficom i njegovom porodicom“, napisala je Ursula fon der Lajen, predsednica Evropske komisije.
I strongly condemn the vile attack on Prime Minister Robert Fico.

My thoughts are with PM Fico and his family.
