The Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Ficostill is not out of danger after the assassination attempt of this Wednesday in which a 71 year old writer He shot him up to five times. His state of health is so delicate that even if everything is fine, he will be away from activity for some time.

Nothing to do with what happened in 2018, when he had to abandon power splashed by a very shady case: the murder of an investigative journalist who denounced the links between organized crime and the upper echelons of power. This forced him to resign and withdraw from public life until the last elections in the country in which he won.

The young man who can be seen in the images that accompany these lines was the journalist who put Fico on the ropes when he governed six years ago. He was named Jan Kuciak, was 27 years old and worked at the media outlet Aktuality. His last report consisted of an investigation into the relations between the Calabrian mafia and the high political powers.

A work that he could not publish when during the night of February 21, 2018, a man entered his home and that of his fiancée to shoot them to death at point blank range. The reason? The investigations that this journalist had carried out.

The murders shook Slovakia so much that the society stood up and thousands of people took to the streets demanding Fico’s resignation. He tried to resist until the end with even a press conference in which he offered a million euros – which surrounded him – as a reward for those who gave information about the murder of the journalist.

The moment was called embarrassing and even the President of Slovakia confirmed that There was something evil in the very foundations of the State. Ultimately, Fico’s fall was inevitable and two weeks later he resigned. Now in the Aktuality editorial office there is an altar in honor of Kuciak.
