Former Slovak President Ivan Gašparovič expressed hope on Friday that the nation’s deep divisions will probably be eased after the assassination of Prime Minister Robert Fico.
“Slovakia is totally divided,” the 83-year-old former president informed Czech public tv, including that in this horrible time there was at the very least some unity in society.
“Even those that have fully totally different views on Fico or politics in Slovakia have realized that issues can not stay as they’re,” mentioned Gasparovic, who led the nation from 2004 to 2014.
Slovakia’s parliament has “was a circus tent and a boxing ring”, the place politicians’ personal lives are mentioned and hatred unfold, the previous head of state mentioned.
Fico, 59, was shot a number of occasions within the assault, which occurred on Wednesday in Handlow, within the heart of the nation.
After the operation, which continued for a really very long time, Fico continues to be within the hospital in Banska Bystrica.
Talking about Fico’s situation after the operation, Gasparovic mentioned: “Not that all the pieces is ok, however his situation is so nice that we hope it can finish nicely. “
The authorities say that the suspect, aged 71, who was charged on Thursday with Fico’s tried homicide, acted alone and was politically motivated.
