Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico survived an assassination attempt and returned to political life.

Fico blames the liberal opposition, media, and NGOs for creating a culture of hatred.

He forgave his attacker but accused the attacker of being linked to the opposition.

Fico's populist-nationalist coalition has heightened political polarization in Slovakia.

The attacker had ties to a far-right paramilitary group, adding confusion to his motives.

Fico criticized the West's stance on Ukraine and accused the opposition of inciting violence.

Despite the incident, Fico aims for positivity and urges understanding of the reasons behind the assassination attempt.
