Robert Fico’s Political Journey

Political baptism of Robert Fico begins in the late 80’s and leads him to the right-wing eurosceptic and nationalist grounds. He first went to position of prime minister between years 2006 to 2010 and then he served as prime minister from 2012 to 2018. Emerging triumphant from a defeat in 2018, he ran for office again this year, expressing a strong stance on social conservatism, nationalism, and welfare measures among the other party manifestations.

Fico’s questionable views which include his disapproval to military intervention in Ukraine as well as his conformity with the Russian president Puttin, rarely always led him to be a foe to the whole mainstream Europe politics. As is the case with the Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban, the Slovakian president Robert Fico has often expressed intransigence with regards to the EU.

Acalculable effect of leaving the EU (Brexit) on European economies, could have wide-ranging political implications across EU member states.

The shooting triggered a wave of condemnation with global leaders, including the U. S. President Joe Biden who described it as “a heinous attack on life. ” While the Russian President Vladimir Putin said Fico “beleshed the name and her homeland. “According to Slovakian President Zuzana Caputova, it was not only an act against an individual but also more than that – it was used to defy democracy.

Some of old alled followers declared that liberal opposition was to blame for creating this atmosphere and, some among opposition, particularly Michal Simecka from Progressive Slovakia, advised to take care about the misinformation spread.

Controversial Leadership and Policies

Fico’s parliamentary career can be characterized by his week and strong stance on immigration, particularly the one from Muslim countries, and his conveyed image of being a defender of ordinary men who protect them from the liberal elites. The critics challenge him for what they perceive his reluctance or blissful ignorance to the media freedom, ignoring of donors from outside borders, and eventual dismantling of democratic rules and reglations.

The politicians back to power in Slovakia last year is what led to the country’s stoppage of military aid to Ukraine and also this contributed to Europe’s big trend of European citizens changing their minds about supporting wing parties.

The Shooting: Eyewitness Accounts

The most recent attack that has been compared to the murder of the Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic in 2003 is the most severe incident on any European leader since then. This incident has attracted general condemnation. Ever since government officials descriptions on Fico’s injuries have aroused concern but his Facebook page said his situation is critical.

Two key issues will be the historical circumstances in which the Presidents had to steer a nation’s course and their political legacies.

The member of the Executive Council, Peter Jozef Fico was born in the Czech Republic in 1964 after which he entered politics as a communist dissident following the fall of the communist regime in behalf of which he earned a law degree in 1992. Fico has also been the leader of Smer (Direction) since 1999 and as such, elected as a spark plug of left-populism with an inclination towards the right in Slovak politics.

Fico’s recent accession to power was the result of his pro-Russian and anti-American campaign that promosted the cessatation of the Slovakian allied activities to Ukraine on rhetoric that NATO and the U. S. policies were no good.

European Union Perspectives and Threats to European Stability

Fico’s leadership, initiated the protest and the fears about do Slovakia’s movement toward a return to its pro-Western tendency that were issued by his detractors. Populist approach characterizes his government’s policies, which specifically target migrants, NGOs, and LGBTQ+ rights, the same populist wave that has been sweeping across Europe.
