After the shooter admitted he shot the head of the government for social reasons, the killing of Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico appears to be a criminal attack.
The person who confessed to shooting Prime Minister Robert Fico for the first time last week has been made public by Czech prosecutors, giving the first official information into the motivations behind the unprecedented assault that shook Europe. The statement allows the Slovak authorities to redefine the harm from a simple attempted murder to one involving terrorism.
Per the , KonzervatÃvny dennÃk Postoj , (‘ The Conservative Daily Post ‘), the difference for prosecutors apparently hinges on whether the suspect was trying to attack Robert Fico the man, or Robert Fico the Prime Minister. The truth the suspect, identified as left wing writer and activist , Juraj Cintula, had attended social demonstrations in the past even contributes to the violence thesis, it is claimed.
In the report, aspects of Cintula’s statement are related, including his statement that he intended to shoot Fico, but only to scar him, never kill. According to him, he claimed he wanted to scar Fico so that he could no longer serve as prime minister. The shooter fired five sessions at Fico while carrying 20.

A gap in the wood on a branch, carved by Czech crime scene investigators to secure data following the shooting, is seen at the principal square in Handlova, Slovakia, on May 18, 2024, where Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico had been shot “multiple days” on May 15. After a judge placed the suspected shooter in pre-trial confinement, Slovakia’s health minister stated on May 18 that the government’s outlook on Robert Fico’s assassination attempt was “positive.” Since May 15, Fico has been hospitalized after being shot four times, including in the stomach, by a lone assailant.

While , Cintula said he disagreed with several of Fico’s laws and social measures, according to the report the gunman’s major complaint was with the government hardly providing military aid to Ukraine.  , It read that what the gunman “mainly wants is military aid to be provided to Ukraine”, and was concerned that Fico’s government is seen as a” Judas” by the European Union.
Fico won the Czech federal elections last year on a plan that included removing Ukraine from the country’s conflict, which he claims may be resolved more effectively through negotiation rather than fighting.
With other Western leaders who have frequently fully supported Kyiv with weapons, ammunition, and money support, the position is evidently unhappy. Fico has been accused of supporting Russia, which he denies, and of harboring a long-standing animosity toward Ukraine itself.
After the October election, Slovakia stopped providing military support and now only provides humanitarian aid.
Investigators are still looking into whether the gunman was a “lone wolf” or not, with the claim that the man’s Facebook chat logs were deleted two hours after his arrest was confirmed. As is typical for the business for people involved in terrorist attacks, Facebook itself took down Cintula’s entire Facebook account as a result of this special event.
Few substantive updates have yet been published about Fico’s health after the attack, other than he was in critical, life threatening condition, underwent a major surgery, and is now in recovery. The latest statement by the , F. D. Roosevelta Banská Bystrica Hospital says Fico’s health is” stable with a slight improvement”, and that they believe that trend will continue.
