The footage shows Fico approaching a group of supporters outside the House of Culture in the town of Handlová, about 90 miles (150km) north-east of the capital, Bratislava. A man in the crowd is then seen grabbing a gun and firing five shots, hitting Fico who falls to the ground as security personnel tackle the shooter. Fico is being treated in hospital for a life-threatening condition.

For the Americans who don't understand why the crowd didn't react: we are not used to the sound of gunfire as much as you
Exactly! I wouldn't know myself what is going on! Never heard ( fortunately!!) such sounds!!!
How about his guards?
huh
Yes. There is gun fire everywhere in America every day. Stay away
In Poland this situation also would be completely surreal. You see guns only in movies not in real life :o It’s crazy
Bodyguards were totally weak and out of scene ...
Well, who knows what they did in the blacked-out part of the video?
@@johndevlinthere is also full version on the internet
This happened right after Slovakia showed pro-Russian tendencies. Is this a coincidence?
@@user-qo8xj7bx2b your opinion is totaly out, Slovakia is country with orientation on all world sides ...
@@johndevlin there is an uncensored version of this recording on the Internet and the reaction of the security was actually late, no one rushed to cover the Prime Minister, such security should look at people what they have in their hands and how they behave
security from the nearest super market?!
from Wish. because our corrupted country doesn't have money :D
As a matter of fact, the assailant was a former security for super market...go figure...

@@kobki66Alebo to fláka.
Worst policing ever like the crowed wasnt even big. There were 2 people and Bodyguard couldnt see man pulling gun? When i see video all of Bodyguards were focused on man shacking hand with pm. They clearly dont know what thier job is.
You should take the job and stop crying
@@silentmajority8365 Are you 13 or just silly ? :-))
it just wasnt expected in slovakia. Most people do not have guns
@@maros495 Criminals don't obey gun laws? Who knew ? lol

the assassination was not the random act of a lone gunman...

Mostly for show.
Они нужны что бы сохранить тело до приезда полицаев...
Tbh, seeing his work across all the years he's in politics, I'm surprised they even tried to stop the shooter
@@Xado147Hajze !!!
@@Marty280 nerozumiem reci tvojho kmena
Wow they had plenty of time to grab the gun ffs.
if this thing goes off next to you, you get probably frozen from the loud sound of it
There is also full version on the internet. Yes, even as they grabbed him, they did not grab his hand first, he could still aim at the premier. From that moment of first touch he managed to shoot another 2-3 shots
Wow, why do people get wet from the rain? Plenty of time to spot the raindrops in the sky.
It’s not everyday thing here at Slovakia. Gunshots are really rare and people can’t react properly.
Idk but still i'm asking the same question, they trained to handle situation like this tough
Witnesses said the attacker screamed "come here Robo" moments before, so why nobody from the guard focused on him?
Lebo máme takých ochrankárov 👎
@@danielabarnova4444American assassin's again
Great bodyguards.
Всех убрать.
Who cares he supports RAS-PUTIN
I mean, they replaced some people after they won elections and one of those happens to be the Head of the Office for the Protection of Constitutional Officials
Poor Fuico.....
Paid the price for talking about peace talks in EU, not throwing guns at the ukranian black hole of a war, and stating that if ukraine joins NATO it will mean a WW3.
They scared him for his actions. Ukranians, NATO , US, someone....
0:20 Protection guards looking at the PM not the crowd! The secret service will use this footage for training!
I can not believe the police officer who was standing to the right of him and who simply ran away when he heard the shots. Not a single police officer reacted or drew their weapons. Also when the PM was shot, not a single person from his detail stayed focused on him. The security agent immedietly next to him watched him hit the floor and had a delayed reaction when unholstering his weapon. There could have been other shooters in the crowd and nobody was focused on the PM except the shooter.
@@JoseLuna-yb8rs Maybe they were in on it..... we will find out in 30 years!
@@JoseLuna-yb8rsI'm slovakian this never happens in our country so they were shocked maybe that's why their reaction was so slow.
@@madara7859 "you had one job!" ... Unless their job is to show that someone is important enough to need guards, they should either be expecting to be needed (eventually) or not be there at all. And I see nothing wrong with a country where the PM doesn't need guards, so I'm really saying either option is totally okay.
@@madara7859 Just out of interest is he pro Russia or the West! Far-right or left? Getting confusing information online?

Strange. The Guards seems Not Alerts.🤷 Person who carry a gun should quickly identified by these guards.
This not in murica where shooting happens daily
So, you say that there is no freedom and democracy in Russia, but for some reason many people start threatening when someone in Europe supports Russia, or do you think this is just a coincidence and you did not threaten Orban to do the same to him?
One bodyguard was right behind the guy. He was checking if he was doing the assassination properly.
😅
Strange that no one in the crowd flinches or reacts. I don't understand it...
senior people that voted for him most people with brain dislike this guy for very long time he is like example.of corruption politicans
I thought the same! It was odd!
How can you tell? They blacked out the actual shooting.
I assume that europeans aren't well versed with the sound of gunshots, so many probably didn't know what was happening.
I'm from Slovakia. this people are different trust me 😃
Where is bodyguard's?!
@@theduchess9019 xD
Guards were part of the assasinatoin. Trust me😮
Three of the cops watched him pull out the gun and didnt even move.
Ochranku by som vyhodil .. okamžite ..
A kdo lepší je nahradí?

An MK Ultra warning to any national leader who refuses to sign the WHO mandate agreement.
Well, we all agree. The bodyguards were not well trained at all.
Это не телохранители. (
Those bodyguards...💩💩💩
some viewers may find this blacked out screen distressing
A mnie zastanawia to, że najpierw skierował broń w pierś Fico a sekundę później opuścił broń kieując strzały w brzuch
PRAY FOR YOUR PRESIDENT PEOPLE THEY’RE TRYING TO TAKE HIM OUT BECAUSE HE WILL NOT COMPLY WITH THE DEVILS PLAN, HE WILL NOT SIGN THE PANDEMIC TREATY, PRAY FOR HIM!!!!!
Security from Aliexpress XD
Note how the Polizia don't even twitch when the man moves aggressively and pulls out a gun, and the barrier puts the assassin out of reach.
После стрельбы на него сзади набросился сотрудник службы безопасности, схватил за шею и повалил. Обезвредил.
@@user-pt5hl8uq5y "After", but nothing before the shots. What kind of "security" is that?
@@david_a_uno Yes, you're right. It would be better to prevent it.
I think they never heard of something called as bullet proof body vest. The Prime Minister should be wearing it when doing a publicity stunt in the crowd.
anyone get a link of the uncensored version?
*SLOVAK!!!!!!!
THE CORRECT ADJECTIVE IS SLOVAK
Also, fix your description, he's Fico not Fuico.
Absolutely unprofessional.
And there was about 1000 bombs reported in schools all across Slovakia... Slovakia lore is crazy
Probably the bodyguards are in it too
Don’t talk rubbish
They are just inexperienced
Stuff like this deosnt happen here
@@springfield8978 Don’t talk rubbish
@@springfield8978 We can ask questions if we want to.
@@springfield8978 do a little research... hes clearly been assassinated by the government.
Jak ten policista u zátarasu uteče.... :(
Každý sám za sebe...
Pre vela ľudí je Fico ten posledný, za ktorého by riskovali vlastný život.
Only days after he gave that speech about rejecting the WHO. Go figure.....
Tough times
As I said, I don't know anyone in Slovakia who doesn't find him really, really sinister.
@@jackmarks23how’d he win elections then?
Rejecting the WHO? You think the killer was really bothered with that?
@@jackmarks23 So, basically, you don't know anyone in Slovakia?
the barrier is a main issue. even if the bodyguards were fast the barrier kept the man out of reach
Does this have anything to do Slovakia PM refusing to join the WHO pandemic treaty recently?
and more. He went against the grain of the globalist and they want him out.
So don't even show an unedited video?
it's a tragedy, Mr. Prime Minister, I wish you a speedy recovery🤞🏻😢
Once again, Something's not adding up🤨...
Why is the shooting blacked out? Isn't the point of UA-cam to watch the effing thing?!
I feel like we've seen this movie before ..
kaskada katastrofalnych błędów
przynajmniej 10 różnych niezależnych lub powiązanych błędów
Ох, как близко, почти в упор стрелял этот злодей...
Здоровья Фицо, пусть он поправится.❤
The response time for the security services is sketchy af
Not sketchy, just incompetent. I live here
@@martinasirillova7391 that's a wakeup call for the security structure, I hope PM recovers and slam these security forces for this failure in his security detail.
Here's the reason: The PM had openly declared that his country, Slovakia, was not going to sign the WHO “Pandemic Treaty”, nor the revised International Health Regulations (IHR), which would give WHO and especially WHO’s Director General dictatorial powers overarching his and the WHO’s 194 member countries’ health and climate sovereignty.
Not at all surprising that the Media are not reporting on that part of the story
🙏
This was a classic set-up. Shots easily fired and security can't get to the assailant because of the fence. Period.
WEF FOR MOT SIGNING THE PANDEMIC TREATY
what gun did he use?
Surprising that there was not much shock,screaming or running as other political shootings.Almost as if the spectators were watching a street fight in bemusement
A little place. People were probably so shocked that they didn' t know what was going on!!!😮 All last some 2-3 seconds!!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Why do they black that out?
ochranka úplně na nic!!! všechny potrestat, kromě jednoho tedy
Bodyguards...?
Quickly tackled ? Man he shot five times that ain't quick tackle
Poor performance of Guards , black Suits and black Goggles means nothing , they could catch the attacker easily or must have kept the President well covered .
Textbook assassination attempt...
When you stand against the WHO and WEF bad things happen.
Bore off..
And then the giant flying saucer came from the sky.
Yes, I bet the guy who killed him was really thinking about the WHO and the WEF. Such prominent causes...
U can go against who and wef but secret not open , sometimes u have to use mind when your enemy is powerful
@@Mrgreen2558 Going against the WHO? Is that a thing? Why would he even be bothered with that?
Why they let him go in front?
It s Robert Fico, u could at least steal the right name if u already stole whole video from RTV Prievidza.
And he is a 'Slovakian PM', his full name is in the footage. Another dull supporter.
*What I find disturbing is once again so-called journalists censoring the video.*
Есть полное видео. Возможно, затемнили сцену насилия из-за правил ютуба.
Blame UA-cam policy and guidelines
@@trevmac8362 Yes, American nation censoring us all, humans on this planet, should be sevearly punished for this.
@@trevmac8362 Yup. UA-cam allows sheer lingerie but not assassination.
It's a crazy world... :(
....it allways was that way..... and allways will be....
this is what western democracy looks like...support from Serbia stand strong.
It’s a bit suspicious tho no? The assassin knew he will approach that exact spot. He wasn’t running in from anywhere. He was waiting right there
No. It was a very small crowd. The assassin (Juraj Cintula) called for Mr. Fico to come over to Mr. Cintula. Sadly, Mr. Fico obliged.
@@RichardTaylor1630 oh so this spot was designated to meet his supporters?
I thought he just walked there after exiting an event or something
WTH, they blacked out the actual scene. We can handle the truth.
Ano ochrankar sa diva ako opica do dela . .
Ochranku podplatili? Policista na to koukal jako na tv
Body guard is shere with shotter or terrorist
English version?
wth?? Why censor the exact moment?? Hiding the source of truth dosen't help.
Channel 4 news shows it
So much for his security team smh
Im Slovakia and i was there
And this is why people have security. Its not because they think they are above everyday people. They become prominent enough to be targeted.
Antony Blinken in Ukraine.
He insisted that fighting was great. Apparently it is beneficial for officials to prolong the war in Ukraine
Europe. Very peaceful
I think it is a warning for Kennedy
For Trump.
Warning for Kennedy?
What are you talking about?
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
That’s what Boeing was trying to say
Sorry for him, but maybe he was not so much loved...
Fatalna praca ochrony..😢😮
Imagine 5 shots and still being ok
That’s called some luck or Slovak guns are just garbage
He's not ok he's in critical fighting for his life. He might not make it
Ochranka nestojí za nič
Nejsem expert na ochranku, ale když výstřely padnou během jedné sekundy, asi toho nelze v tak krátkém čase moc udělat. Pan Fico byl příliš důvěřivý. Modlím se za něj! 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
Pozrite si napríklad Putinovu ochranu
@@norberthavra4913 no tak samozřejmě to je nesrovnatelné! Jak píši, p. Dr. Fico byl příliš důvěřivý, chodil mezi lidi, trochu riskantně. Ale on je v dobrém smyslu " lidový" člověk - nemá nos nahoru. Podcenil nebezpečí. ( Myslím, že v 1 sekundě nelze prostě dělat NIC. Vzpomeňte třeba na Kennedyho... Jistě měl super ochranku...) Modlím se za p. Fica! 🙏🙏🙏🇸🇰❤️
Some of these Body guards definitely lost their jobs for sure. Except for the hero guard in the back!
.. couldn't have happened in a more peaceful country.
Not really the current government loves putin
Times change.

Well
Given that the PM wants us to leave NATO.. it won't be for a long time..
@@eatsleepdie1682 thats why they took him out
Peaceful strikes again 😮
Can someone explain who is the lady with the shotter and the guy on his right hand with black sunglasses secret services or just watch services, also gentlemen and lady behind arriving second before the shotting. Standing in front of the policemen she look very distressed and holding to the men arm I may be wrong ....
Bodyguards will have serious problems after that..
Brawo dla ochrony premiera gdzie oni mieli oczy 😵
Why did you black out the moment he was shot? WTH?
Cause UA-cam doesn't allow it.
Well, those „bodyguards“ were as useful as Anne Frank‘s tin drum.
Amazing this is not happening in America
Eh this stuff doesn’t happen in America
the Americans have better security and bodyguards. I couldn't imagine Biden would go out into an unchecked crowd with such useless bodyguards.
Our secret service would never have an area unchecked like that with no metal detectors, extra police, undercovers etc. Not to mention a bulletproof vest for the countries Prime Minister. But I'm sure there is ppl out there wishing they can do this

I don’t know what’s going on in Slovakia so I need to do some research but OH MY DEAR LORD😱😱😱!! W😮W!!!!!
Apparently some time ago he killed a journalist and his wife for speaking out against him
Fico opposes sending arms aid to Ukraine and prioritizes negotiations. Mother US and Daddy UK are very unhappy.

Yeah it is very strange… like if he knew
Why they all waited instead of actively intervene?
