Accident – Death – Obituary News :

A 71-year-old former coal mine worker from Slovakia has been charged with attempted premeditated murder after opening fire at point-blank range on Prime Minister Robert Fico. The shooter, identified as Juraj C., had a history of writing dark, erotic verse and poems featuring themes of torture and pain. He also self-published a book that expressed hostility towards the Roma population and questioned why Slovakia had not produced a homegrown version of Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian terrorist.

Following the shooting, which is considered the worst attack on a European leader in decades, shock waves were felt across Europe. The suspect, described as a “lone wolf” by officials, was known for his cranky behavior and resentful attitude by residents of Levice, the town where he lived.

Investigation and Background

Authorities have placed an embargo on information related to the case, but it is widely reported that Juraj C. is the suspect in custody. Police officers visited the apartment block where he lived to gather evidence, including video footage from security cameras. Despite his outwardly normal behavior, neighbors and acquaintances described him as detached and often expressing anger.

Juraj C.’s writings, which included poems that depicted Slovakia’s landscape in a disturbing manner, raised concerns among those who knew him. His self-published book targeting the Roma community and his shifting political allegiances over the years have provided insight into his mindset.

Political Motivations and Controversies

Politicians in Slovakia have attempted to link the shooter’s actions to various political factions, but those who knew him claim that he was against everything and had a deep-seated sense of injustice. His writings and public statements indicate a long-standing hostility towards the Roma population, as well as changing views on Russia and Ukraine.

While some have tried to portray Juraj C. as an activist, his former literary club president clarified that the club had no affiliations with L.G.B.T.Q. causes. The suspect’s biography reveals a history of conflict with state authorities during the Communist era and a failed attempt to join anti-Communist movements.

Personal Evolution and Reactions

In his book, Juraj C. reflected on the story of a notorious Slovak murderer and seemed to draw parallels to his own life. He expressed a sense of weariness and bitterness, suggesting that the burden he carried had led him to the edge of sanity. Despite his attempts to align with various causes and movements, he was always seen as an outsider.

The shooting of Prime Minister Robert Fico has raised questions about security and political tensions in Slovakia. As the investigation unfolds, more details about Juraj C.’s motives and background are expected to come to light.
