Slovakia’s PM Fico undergoes another operation

Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico underwent a two-hour operation that has increased hopes for his recovery following an assassination attempt. Deputy Prime Minister Robert Kalinak stated that a decision to transfer Fico back to Bratislava would only be made when there is further improvement in his condition. The suspect charged with attempted murder is a 71-year-old former security guard and author of poetry, but his identity has not been officially confirmed. The shooting has been condemned internationally and has highlighted a febrile and polarized political climate in Slovakia and Europe. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, an ally of Fico, stated that even if Fico recovers fully, he may be unable to work for months during a critical time for Europe.
