Attack on Fico sparks polarization | Michal Vašečka

A court ruled on Tuesday that Juraj Cintula, the 72-year-old man who shot and wounded Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico last year, was guilty of terrorism and handed him a 21-year jail sentence. Michal Vašečka, Professor of Sociology at the Bratislava International School of Liberal Arts, joins TVP World to explain how the attack, the sentencing, and Fico’s party shifting to a far-right European bloc are intensifying political polarization and affecting Slovakia’s role in the EU. The discussion also explores rising public dissatisfaction, alliances with leaders like Orbán and Babiš, and implications for Ukraine and Central Europe.
