Slovak Prime Minister Proposes Security Detail for Attacked Mayor-MP
Share:
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has proposed personal protection for Ján Ferenčák, who serves both as a member of parliament and mayor of Kežmarok, following a weekend attack that is now under police investigation. Ferenčák holds dual roles as both a national legislator in Slovakia's parliament and the elected leader of Kežmarok, a town in northern Slovakia near the Polish border. The incident comes amid heightened concerns about political violence in Slovakia, particularly following the assassination attempt on Fico himself in May 2024, which led to increased security measures for government officials.
