Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico is battling for his life after being shot multiple times in an apparent assassination attempt. The 59-year-old populist leader was critically injured when an unidentified gunman opened fire outside a cultural center in Handlova where Fico was meeting supporters. The suspect was swiftly detained by police. Fico sustained life-threatening wounds to his abdomen and underwent emergency surgery, but his condition remains perilous. The brazen attack has sparked fears of political instability and violence in the run-up to European Parliament elections. As Slovakia reels, authorities are investigating the motive behind the audacious attempt on the PM's life.
