Slovak populist Prime Minister Robert Fico’s condition is improving following an assassination attempt last week that shocked the European Union nation deeply polarized over his policies
People gather and bring flowers outside the F. D. Roosevelt University Hospital, where Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, who was shot and injured, is being treated, in Banska Bystrica, central Slovakia, Sunday, May 19, 2024.
A statement released by the clinic said Fico is “clinically improving, communicating, inflammatory parameters are slowly decreasing.”On Sunday, the clinic said that Fico, 59, was no longer in life threating condition after he was shot in the abdomen as he greeted supporters on Wednesday outside a cultural center in the town of Handlova, nearly 140 kilometers northeast of the capital, Bratislava.
Fico immediately underwent a five-hour surgery to treat multiple wounds he suffered in the shooting followed by another two-hour surgery Friday to remove dead tissue from his gunshot wounds. Little information about the would-be assassin has been disclosed after prosecutors told police not to publicly identify him or release details about the case.
