Slovak authorities have charged a 71-year-old man with attempting to assassinate Prime Minister Robert Fico, who was shot five times in the stomach. According to Interior Minister Matus Sutaj Estok, the suspect acted alone and had become radicalized in the period following the presidential election. The motive behind the attack is believed to be political, with the minister stating that the suspect disagreed with the government's justice and media policies.
