In Slovakia, the trial has begun for Juraj C., the man who shot Prime Minister Robert Fico last year. He is charged with terrorism because prosecutors say he aimed to disable the government. The attacker, a former miner and activist, fired five shots from just 1.2 meters away, hitting Fico four times, including in the stomach. Fico survived, but the incident shook the entire country. The attacker said he didn’t want to kill, only to injure the PM due to disagreement with his policies on Ukraine and culture. Fico accused the opposition of inciting hatred, but opposition parties deny any links. If found guilty, the attacker faces life imprisonment. This drama raises questions about Slovakia’s political climate and how far citizen dissatisfaction can go. Is this just the tip of the iceberg or a sign of serious societal decay? The trial will be closely watched, and the whole country awaits justice. What do you think — terrorism or a desperate message? Drop a comment, maybe we can unravel this political puzzle together!
