Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico is out of danger!

This news was given by Deputy Prime Minister Tomas Tarana, who told the BBC that his operation went well and that he will survive.

Earlier, the Defense Minister said that Fico was "fighting for his life" after being seriously injured in an attack in the small town of Handlova.

A suspect was detained at the scene of the shooting. Interior Minister Matus Sutaj Estoka described it as a politically motivated assassination attempt.

After the shooting, Fico was rushed to the hospital and spent several hours in surgery "fighting for his life," according to Defense Minister Robert Kalinak, who spoke at a news conference from outside the hospital where Fico was being treated on Wednesday.

Deputy Prime Minister Taraba told the BBC that the prime minister was shot "from very close" and that "one bullet went through the stomach and the second hit the ankle".

Police have not yet identified the suspect. Unconfirmed local media reports say he was a 71-year-old writer and political activist.

In a video that is widely circulating in the Slovak media, the suspect is said to appear.

In the video, the man says that he does not agree with the government's policy and its attitude towards the state media. The BBC does not know whether the person in the video is the perpetrator who was arrested at the scene, nor the circumstances in which it was filmed.

The shooting occurred on the day parliament began debating the government's proposal to abolish Slovakia's public broadcaster RTVS.

Thousands of Slovaks have protested against the proposed reform of the public broadcaster in recent weeks. However, a planned opposition-led demonstration was canceled on Wednesday after news of the shooting emerged.
