Professional-Ukrainian, anti-Roma, anti-communist however with a previous in pro-Russian militias. It’s the portrait of Juraj Cintula, the person who made an try on the lifetime of Slovakian Prime Minister Rober Fico. 71 years outdated, former safety guard, three books printed and member of a literary circle in his metropolis known as “Dùha”, Rainbow, as a result of it’s inclusive, open and pacifist. It’s the identikit of somebody who was outlined by authorities sources as a “lone wolf”, “radicalized” following the victory within the elections of Peter Pellegrini, newly elected president of the Slovak Republic and ally of Fico. To reconstruct Jurai’s previous and current, Fabio Tonacci, correspondent for La Repubblica, went to the outskirts of Levice – the place the place the would-be killer lives – to listen to from those that lived aspect by aspect with the person. What emerges is the portrait of the everyman, of the aspiring killer past all suspicion. No precedent, no intelligence experiences, no contact with probably suspicious characters. A mistery.
He had additionally based a pacifist affiliation and the repudiation of battle was – apparently – the idea of his thought and activism. He was till the day of the assault, when he fired 5 gunshots at Fico, after evading safety checks. Cintula acted alone however now everyone seems to be questioning if he made his transfer as a result of he was pushed by others. And the checks on his latest previous have gotten more and more tighter. The phone contacts, in addition to the person’s social networks and his newest conferences, are being sifted. The suspicion is that he was approached by somebody, Slovak or overseas, who satisfied him to behave. And plainly the pensioner, who dangers 25 years to life in jail, is actively collaborating within the investigations. A lot in order that one thing about his previous has already come to mild: in 2016, for instance, he participated in some demonstrations organized by a Slovakian paramilitary organisation, Slovenski Branci. A bunch of strongly anti-European pro-Russian extremists who recruited younger individuals in uniform all through the nation to “shield” Slovakia from migrants and from an excessively “invasive” Europe. Sympathies additionally demonstrated by the poems written by the anti-migrant and anti-system attacker.
Components that conflict along with his current as a pro-Ukraine and anti-Russian pacifist and as a supporter of the Slovak left and the opposition celebration, Progressive Slovakia. A thriller inside a thriller. And people who lived subsequent to him at this time haven’t any rationalization for Cintula’s violent act. The person’s son speaks: “I am in shock, I did not have the slightest concept what my father was planning or why he did it. He did not vote for Fico, that is for certain, I will not add the rest.” And on the explanations that pushed Cintula to this gesture, he explains: “Possibly he had a brief circuit. He’s a powerful man, however not violent. He was a poet.” The thriller of the everyman.
