Slovak police debunked Russian fake about Ukrainian trace

In the Russian segment of social networks, reports are being circulated that a refugee from Ukraine was allegedly involved in the assassination attempt on Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico. However, this fake was denied by the Slovak police.

The head of the Slovak police, Lubomir Solak, denied these rumors and called them fake. He noted that the attacker on the prime minister does not have a woman from Ukraine, because of whom he was “radicalized” noted at the Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security SPRAVDI. About it reports Actuality, quoting Solak: “No such information has been confirmed, it’s a lie.”

The Prosecutor General's Office has imposed an information embargo on the case of the attack on Prime Minister Robert Fico. Therefore, the police cannot report an investigation into the assassination attempt on the Prime Minister. However, police president Lubomir Solak denied information that the attacker’s partner was a woman from Ukraine.

Police leadership commented on the escalation of hatred on the Internet and related police work. “We have recorded several dozen such incidents. We have identified specific people in several cases and will probably report the results soon. We are registering threats to government members and other political leaders of both the opposition and the coalition,” said police chairman Lubomir Solak.

On the website of the National Council there is a draft resolution on the assassination attempt on the Prime Minister, reports Denník N, which the coalition will submit to parliament on Tuesday. Among other things, the project calls on all parties, media and NGOs to “respect the election results and not incite hatred towards the authorities.”

The draft states that “the role of responsible and critical journalists is indispensable in a healthy society, but their work must be based on facts, not hate speech.” Smer MP Jan Richter announced today that at the beginning of tomorrow's meeting they will propose a resolution that will reflect the events surrounding the assassination attempt on Robert Fico and propose ways out of the currently polarized situation in society.

Richter did not elaborate, but added that by supporting the resolution, politicians from both the opposition and the coalition can show that they want to change the style of political communication and do not want to sow hatred in society. “And finally, respect the results of the parliamentary elections,” he added.

Earlier, the Russians wrote that the suspect in the shooting in Prague, 24-year-old student David Kozak, is a native of Ukraine. This information was denied by Czech officials.
