Dollar Media's Efforts in Vain: Investigative Documents Prove Fico Shooter Is Pro-War

According to the prosecutor, the suspect "committed the act out of revenge because he did not agree with the government's policy".

The Hungarian liberal media cited various reasons for days trying to explain that Robert Fico's attempted assassin was not pro-war and did not commit his crime because he disagreed with the Slovak prime minister's pro-peace stance. 

Although this narrative has already been refuted by footage of the shooter, Juraj Cintula, chanting "long live Ukraine", "enough of Fico" and referring to the Slovakian government as "traitors" at a protest along with several other demonstrators. 

Now, even the investigative documents of the attempted assassination case also confirm that 

Cintula's attack on the Slovak prime minister was unequivocally politically motivated out of disagreement with PM Fico's pro-peace policies. 

Investigators have several statements by multiple witnesses, one from a woman who spoke about Cintula's sentiment towards the prime minister. 

The attacker had allegedly expressed being disturbed by the PM's attitude towards Russia and Hungary.

"Specifically, the way ... he [Fico] related to them, that he had a good relationship with them. Cintula didn't like the fact that... he [Fico] had made negative comments about the European Union. The witness also claimed that she was aware that Cintula had written on Facebook that the 'X' platform should be stopped," the court document reads. 

According to the prosecutor, the suspect's crime was "committed out of revenge because he did not agree with the government's policy".

In several articles, both journalists now at Telex.hu but formerly at Index.hu and those at the Soros blog, 444.hu, tried to portray Cintula and his crime as having nothing to do with Fico's pro-peace policies, and even tried to paint him as belonging to a far-right Nazi camp.

The revealed footage and now the investigative materials and even the prosecutor's statement, all prove that Fico's attempted assassin is clearly pro-war.
