BRATISLAVA [Slovakia], Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico remains in "critical condition" in hospital, while a court ruled that a man accused of attempted murder will remain in custody, Al Jazeera reported. On Saturday, Slovakia's Health Minister Zuzana Dolinkova said Fick underwent a two-hour surgery on Friday to remove dead tissue from multiple gunshot wounds, which "contributed to the positive prognosis," Slovakia's Deputy Prime Minister Robert Kalinak said. Said it was unlikely that Fick would be transferred from the hospital in Banska Bystrica to Bratislava in the coming days as his condition remained "critical". On 15 May, Robert Fico (59) was shot five times as he greeted people leaving a government meeting in Handelova. Meanwhile, a court in Pezinok said on Saturday that the suspect would be detained before trial, a spokesman said, Al Jazeera reported.Slovakia's Ministry of Internal Affairs said the prosecutor requested the court to keep the suspect, reportedly a 71-year-old former security guard at a shopping mall and author of three poetry collections, in custody, as he faces charges of attempted deliberate murder. Was imposed. "If the bullet had gone a few centimeters higher, it would have hit the prime minister's liver," Minister Mateusz Sutaj Estok said, Jazeera reported, citing broadcaster TA3. Earlier, prosecutors had asked police not to publicly identify the suspect. Or do not release other information about the case. However, few details were reported by local media outlets.Officers wearing balaclavas and carrying rifles were guarding the court while journalists were not allowed inside. Police caught the suspect at his home in Levice on Friday and seized a computer and some documents, Al Jazeer quoted Slovak broadcaster Markiza as saying by prosecutors. However, Fico's supporters said the opposition was partly to blame for rising political tensions. Kalink, a close ally of Fico, criticized opposition MPs and "selected media" for calling PM Fico a criminal, dictator or a servant of Russian President Vladimir Putin before the attack on Friday. In an emotional message posted on his political party's website, Smee said, "All these lies are the main reason why Robert Fico is fighting for his life today.He accused political parties and the media of encouraging protests against government policies and stoking bitterness. Slovak opposition leader Michal Simecka called the shootings an attack on democracy and said he, his wife and child were threatened with death. Outgoing pro-Western President Zuzana Caputova and her successor, Pete Pellegrini, another Fico ally, called on Slovakians to avoid "confrontation."
