Show Notes
A 71-year-old man remains in police custody in Slovakia, accused of attempting to assassinate Prime Minister Robert Fico.
Fico was airlifted to the hospital after being shot in the stomach, arm, and leg.
Christopher Luxon's joining other world leaders in condemning the attack, saying it's shocking and nothing justifies such horrific violence in our democratic systems.
Newstalk ZB Europe correspondent Enda Brady —who made a documentary about Fico— told Andrew Dickens it's interesting the alleged assailant picked a town where the Prime Minister is well supported.
He says the man probably really doesn't like Fico's politics, or the way Slovakia is going under his leadership.
