Media reports said the suspect was a founder of the DUHA (Rainbow) Literary Club and was from the town of Levice.

Who is 71-year-old poet suspected of having shot Slovak PM Robert Fico

Media reports said the suspect was a founder of the DUHA (Rainbow) Literary Club and was from the town of Levice.

A suspect detained for shooting Slovakia Prime Minister Robert Fico is a 71-year-old writer from the centre of the European nation, the interior minister said Wednesday, after media identified the man.
"I think I can confirm this, yes," Interior Minister Matus Sutaj Estok told reporters when asked about reports identifying the man detained at the scene of the shooting in the town of Handlova.
A grey haired suspect was seen being handcuffed on the ground just after Fico was shot several times after a government meeting in Handlova. Officials said late Wednesday that Fico, a populist prime minister, was fighting for his life.
Media reports said the suspect was a founder of the DUHA (Rainbow) Literary Club and was from the town of Levice.
The reports, which also named him, said he has written three poetry collections and is a member of the official Association of Slovak Writers.
The association confirmed on Facebook that the man had been a member since 2015, adding that if his identity as the suspected shooter was confirmed "the membership of this despicable person will be immediately cancelled".
The suspect's son told Slovak news site aktuality.sk that he had "absolutely no idea what father was thinking, what he was planning, why it happened".
He said his father was a legally registered gun owner.
When asked if he felt any hatred toward Fico, the son said: "I'll tell you this: he didn't vote for him. That's all I can say about it."
Vlasta Kollarova, head of a local library in the man's hometown told Dennik N daily: "He was rebellious when he was young, but not aggressive".
Several political statements by the man, who AFP has chosen not to name, could be found on social media.
"The world is full of violence and weapons. People seem to be going crazy," he said in a video eight years ago posted online.
In the video, he also spoke about concern over immigration and "hatred and extremism" and said European governments "have no alternative to this chaos".
He also said in the video that he had founded a "Movement Against Violence" in Levice.
The movement, which also has its Facebook page, defines itself as "an emerging political party whose goal is to prevent the spread of violence in society. To prevent war in Europe and the spread of hatred."

He and his party Smer (Direction) have most often been described as left-populist, though he has also been compared to right-wing politicians like the nationalist prime minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán.

Know Robert Fico, Slovakia’s populist prime minister who survived assassination bid

He and his party Smer (Direction) have most often been described as left-populist, though he has also been compared to right-wing politicians like the nationalist prime minister of Hungary, Viktor Orb&aacute;n.

Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico is in life-threatening condition after being wounded in a shooting after a political event Wednesday afternoon, an episode of violence that punctuated his long career spanning decades in politics.
Fico, 59, returned to power in Slovakia last year. Having previously served twice as prime minister, from 2006 to 2010 and again from 2012 to 2018, his third term made him the longest-serving head of government in Slovakia&rsquo;s history.
He and his party Smer (Direction) have most often been described as left-populist, though he has also been compared to right-wing politicians like the nationalist prime minister of Hungary, Viktor Orb&aacute;n.
After five years in opposition, Fico&rsquo;s party won parliamentary elections last year on a pro-Russian and anti-American platform. He vowed to bring an end to Slovakia providing Ukraine with military support as it battled Russia&rsquo;s full-scale invasion, and has argued that NATO and the United States provoked Moscow into war.
After his election victory, the new government immediately halted arms deliveries to Ukraine. Thousands repeatedly took to the streets across Slovakia to rally against Fico&rsquo;s pro-Russian and other policies, including plans to amend the penal code to eliminate a special anti-graft prosecutor and to take control of the public media.
Fico&rsquo;s return to power caused concern among his critics that he and his party &mdash; which had long been tainted by scandal &mdash; would lead Slovakia away from its pro-Western course. He vowed to pursue a &ldquo;sovereign&rdquo; foreign policy, promised a tough stance against migration and non-governmental organizations, and campaigned against LGBTQ+ rights.
He earned a reputation for his tirades against journalists and faced criminal charges in 2022 for allegedly creating a criminal group and misuse of power. In 2018, he and his government stepped down amid controversy after Slovakian investigative journalist J&aacute;n Kuciak was murdered along with his fianc&eacute;e. Kuciak had been reporting on tax-related crimes implicating high-level Slovak politicians.
