Wires reporting that President-Elect Peter Pellegrini is set to hold a presser at 1545CET (0945ET, 1445BST) following the shooting of PM Robert Fico a short time ago. Outgoing President Zuzana Caputova described the attack as brutal and reckless saying on social media,"I am shocked. I wish Roberto Fico a lot of strength at this critical moment to recover from the attack,"

  • Dennik N on the procedure should Fico be immobilised for some time: " The absence of the Prime Minister is partly solved by the Competence Act, which states that in such a case he is represented by the Deputy Prime Minister, who is appointed by the Prime Minister. He convenes and then leads meetings of the government. There are currently four [deputy PMs] in the government. One is the Minister of Defense Robert Kaliňák (Smer), and since he and the Prime Minister are from the same party, it is likely that he could temporarily take over the responsibilities. Economy Minister Denisa Saková from Hlas is also the deputy prime minister, as is her party colleague Peter Kmec, who is the deputy chairman for the recovery plan. The fourth deputy prime minister is the Minister of the Environment Tomáš Taraba."
