Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has been left in a life-threatening condition after being shot by an assailant on Wednesday. The 59-year-old took power for the fourth time last October. In that time, he has turned the country's foreign policy towards more pro-Russian views and pledged to stop military support for Ukraine. He has also initiated reforms of criminal law and the media, which have raised concerns over weakening the rule of law. During a three-decade career, Fico has skilfully weaved between pro-European mainstream and nationalistic anti-Brussels and anti-American positions.
