Slovakia's prime minister delivers first public remarks since assassination attempt: "I forgive him"

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico delivered his first public remarks since an assassination attempt last month left him in a life-threatening condition.

In a 14-minute speech posted on his Facebook page Wednesday, Fico, 59, said he feels "no hatred" toward his would-be assassin, who he said was neither "some madman" nor acting alone. "I forgive him," Fico said, adding that "he was only a messenger of evil and political hatred, which the politically unsuccessful and frustrated opposition developed in Slovakia to unmanageable proportions."

The prime minister suggested his pro-Russia, anti-NATO and anti-U.S. stances had made him a target. Fico ended his country's military aid for Ukraine after his coalition government was sworn in on Oct. 25. He also opposes EU sanctions on Russia and wants to block Ukraine from joining NATO.

Amy Biel’s family forgave her killers.

What’s wrong with these people? Might be the difference between the right and left but then the left hates more. Maybe they forgive when the victim is on the right.

He said he forgives the guy that shot him.

He didn’t say he forgave the guys that sent the would be assassin

He also didn’t say he would oppose having the guy executed anyway

No, Jesus asked his Father to forgive them.

Should all courts do the same?

So, you are saying Jesus didn’t forgive them?

I’m saying what’s in The Bible. Try reading it sometime.

I have read it many times, but I never got your meaning. If Jesus is consubstantial with the Father, how could one forgive, and the other not?

Virtue signaling. It affords such people and opportunity to inform other beings that unlike them they are “self-righteous” and therefore “superior”.

I’m surprised Putin hasn’t managed to dispose of Zelensky because with him in the dirt I suspect the war would grind rapidly to an end. Unless of course the senile Imposter triggered WW-3!

I don’t know much about Fico, but I am getting the impression that he is evil. He pretends to forgive the assassin only so he can try to blame his political opponents for an action they didn’t take.

You're assuming that Zelensky is running Ukraine and won't negotiate.

If it's Biden that's running Ukraine and won't negotiate, then the worst mistake Putin could make is to whack Zelensky.

Putin would get the blame and nothing would change.
