DISINFO: The West behind the attempted murder of Slovak PM Robert Fico

SUMMARY

The West, the Globalists standing behind it, and the Judo-Masonic gangs are also behind the assassination attempt on Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico.

RESPONSE

Disinformation claim, accusing the West of the attempt on the life of Slovakian PM Robert Fico. This claim pushes an anti-semitic conspiracy theory about global elites secretly ruling the world.

There is no evidence of the involvement of any Western country in the assassination attempt on Fico.

On 15 May 2024, Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico was shot five times in an assassination attempt. The attack took place after an off-site government meeting in the central Slovak town of Handlova.

The US, the EU, and NATO leaders condemned the assassination attempt, calling it a “vile and horrific attack.”

Slovakian media identified the shooter as 71-year-old Juraj Cintula, a self-described writer who previously worked as a security guard. Slovakia's interior minister, Matus Sutaj Estok, told reporters that Cintula was a "lone wolf, whose actions were accelerated after the presidential election since he was dissatisfied with its outcome." In a video posted on Facebook and verified by Reuters, the alleged shooter said he opposed attacks on Slovakia’s public broadcaster and judges. "I do not agree with government policy."

Similarly, various conspiracy theories about the ‘deep state’ being behind the assassinations of U.S. President John F. Kennedy and Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme abound, but no serious evidence has come to light supporting them.

Kennedy and 9/11 attacks were organised by Deep State; JFK was assassinated by Israel which controls US deep state; Washington and Kyiv are behind Fico's assassination attempt; “Deep State” fights with Trump.
