Four Months After Suffering Assassination Attempt, Pro-Trump Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico Receives Anonymous Envelope Containing a Bullet
Political violence seems to be here to stay.
From the shooting of US GOP congressman Steve Scalise in 2017, to the knife attack on Brazilian Presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro in 2018, the former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s assassination in 2022, up to the two attempts on the life of candidate Donald Trump this year, the sinister trend seems to be picking up steam.
And, of course, there was the shooting attempt on the life of Slovak President Robert Fico.
In May, Fico was shot in the Slovak city of Handlová, after an off-site government meeting.
Fico approached some people who were greeting him, and it was at that moment that several shots were fired.
