A man has been charged with attempted murder, over an apparent attempt to assassinate Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico.

Fico remains in a serious but stable condition in hospital after being shot several times during a walkabout.

Grey said “Others are saying his motive was the Slovak government’s stance on the media – they are cracking down on Newspapers.”
