Slovakia's Prime Minister, Robert Fico, was shot four times at close range while greeting supporters in a small town. The attack, which left him with stomach and arm injuries, has shocked the country. Fico had predicted a month earlier that political tensions could lead to the murder of a government politician. His warning was dismissed at the time, but now it seems eerily prescient. The attempted assassination has deepened the country's political polarization, with many fearing further violence. Fico's warnings to his ministers to be cautious were ignored, and now the country is reeling from the aftermath of this brazen attack.
