Part 7/9:
Promptly after the shooting, Viktor Orban, Hungary’s Prime Minister, expressed shock and concern—calling Fico a "friend" and praying for his quick recovery. Orban, himself known for his anti-NATO and pro-Russian views, has openly criticized NATO’s approach to Ukraine and has sought to broker peace in the region.
The attack raises questions about the motives behind it. Some speculate it might be connected to Fico’s controversial political stance or internal political tensions. Given the heightened polarization surrounding Ukraine and Russia, some interpret the attempt on his life as a possible consequence of his outspoken positions.
