Orbán said ‘We trust Fico’s recovery’, but was misinformed about the attacker
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán visited Kecskemét, in south-eastern Hungary, on Thursday, as part of his campaign tour of the country ahead of the European parliamentary elections.
“We trust that Fico will recover”
According to information from his press chief, he told local voters that “with its changing governments at the latest election, Slovakia set off on the path to becoming a pro-peace country. This was a great help to Hungary, but the process has been interrupted by a leftist activist’s attempt to assassinate the Slovak prime minister.”
NOTE: the man who shot the Slovakian PM Fico is not a “leftist”, this assumption was based on a mistranslation. Juraj Cintula recently both founded an anti-violence movement and supported the work of an extremist paramilitary organisation. What is more, he previously worked with the pro-Russian extremist paramilitary organisation Slovenskí branci (SB), 24.hu and other news portals write.
“Robert Fico is out of work in the most crucial months … we trust that he will recover but now we have to fight for peace alone; from now on we will redouble our strength and fight by ourselves,” Orbán said, and encouraged rally participants to “vote for peace and end the violence” on 9 June.

The goal is to blame anyone that is opposed to Orban mindset, even if the one being blamed is from the right wing! What a clown….
Such an ignorant viktator.
It’s why many working age Hungarians and Slovaks (plus many in Russia, Turkey etc.), with children, wish to emigrate &/or return to their other homes, to avoid the appalling culture of corruption and now Russian influence, maintained with the help of right wing media misinforming too many older &/or low info voters; leaves no future for young people nor the nation, well done.
