Slovakian PM Fico warns new ************** attempt possible

Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico, who was critically injured in a ********* earlier this year, has warned that another ************** attempt could be possible.

The populist Fico accused his opponents of inciting hatred and ********* against the government in comments to public broadcaster STVR on Saturday.

“I am 100% convinced that there will be another ************** attempt against a government representative if the opposition and certain media do not stop what they are doing,” Fico said.

Fico was shot on May 15 as he met supporters after a cabinet meeting in the small town of Handlova. The man, a pensioner, was arrested and said he acted out of hatred of Fico and his policies, in rhetoric recalling that of opposition media.

Since the ************** attempt, police protection measures have increased, making a new ******* more complicated, Fico said. “But it can happen that someone might target a gathering of voters of the government parties for example. I ***** this,” he said.

Fico is the leader of Smer, the largest ruling party.

The prime minister and other governing politicians have repeatedly accused the ******** opposition and media of being to blame for the May *******.

They claim that opposition misinformation and demonization of the ruling parties as “******” and “**********” have created an aggressive climate.

However, the opposition accuses the government of exploiting the ******* to silence criticism of its policies.
