We hope for Robert Fico’s recovery, but now we have to fight for peace alone 

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán continued his campaign trail in Kecskemét where he had talks with mayor of the city Mrs Szemereyné, Klaudia Pataki, and later also spoke about the attempted assassination of the Slovak prime minister, Bertalan Havasi, the Prime Minister’s press chief informed the Hungarian news agency MTI on Thursday. 

Talking to members of the Kecskemét electorate, the President of Fidesz said with the change of government in the wake of the elections, Slovakia has set out on a path leading to a pro-peace stance. This was great help for Hungary. Now, this process has been curbed, shot down by the attempted assassination of the Slovak prime minister by a left-wing activist, the Prime Minister said. 

During the most important months, Robert Fico will be unable to make a contribution. We hope for his recovery, but today we have to fight for peace alone. From now on, we must fight twice as hard, all on our own, Mr Orbán said, adding that the European elections have become more important than ever before: we must put an end to the violence, we must go and vote for peace on 9 June.
