Political Extremism Problem Intensified After Prime Minister Attack, Intelligence Chief Warns
Share:
The head of Slovakia's Intelligence Service (SIS) warned that the problem of politically motivated extremism has become more pronounced following the assassination attempt on Prime Minister Robert Fico in May. The intelligence chief described the attack on Fico as the most serious security incident in Slovakia's recent history. The warning highlights growing concerns about political polarization and radicalization in the Central European nation, where tensions between the ruling coalition and opposition have intensified since Fico's populist Smer-SD party returned to power last year.
