Wires carrying comments from Deputy PM Robert Kalinak regarding the situation of PM Robert Fico, reporting Kalinak saying 'We cannot now say that we are winning or that [the] outlook is positive'. Slovakia's Dennik N reportsKalinak saying that doctors have stabilised the PM but that he is not out of danger. The Deputy PM says that the assassination attempt on Fico was premeditated and politically motivated.

  • Interior Minister Matus Estok says that the suspect has been charged with attempted murder, and that the individual listed reasons including the 'cessation of military aid to Ukraine, the abolition of the special prosecutor's office, with interventions in [state media companies] or with the dismissal of the chairman of the Judicial Council' for the attack.
  • Says that the suspect 'acted alone, had taken part in anti-gov't protests', but was not - as some had speculated - been part of a radical group. Slovakia's seniormost police officer will deliver a presser at 1500CET (0900ET, 1400BST).
  • Given the shocking nature of events, the actions and motivations of the shooter will dominate the Slovak news agenda in the hours, days, and weeks ahead. While a joint appearance from President Zuzana Caputova and President-Elect Peter Pellegrini (on opposite sides of the political spectrum) has been seen as an effort to calm the discourse, statements from some gov't and opposition lawmakers have only served to inflame an already tense political atmosphere.
