Slovak Officials Warn Against Fico Ukraine Visit as Parliament Deputy Defends Son's Light Sentence

Slovak Agriculture Minister Richard Takáč warned Prime Minister Robert Fico against traveling to Ukraine, claiming there are people there who want to shoot the Slovak leader. Takáč advised Fico not to set foot in Ukraine under any circumstances. Separately, Tibor Gašpar, deputy speaker of Slovakia's parliament, defended his son's punishment for a traffic accident, arguing that an ordinary citizen would not have received any penalty for the same incident involving the head of the Slovak Intelligence Service. Gašpar, a former police chief whose son was involved in the accident with SIS director Michal Aláč, believes the punishment imposed was too harsh given the circumstances.
