Like every evening, the 11 p.m. news news takes a look at the news broadcast by European television channels. It’s Eurozapping on Thursday May 16.
Slovakia is in shock: its Prime Minister Robert Fico was the victim of an attack, Wednesday May 15. After surgery, the politician is better. It was a 71-year-old retiree who attempted to kill Robert Fico by firing five bullets at point-blank range. An indignant poet, the suspect explained his act by political motivations. In 2016, a photo shows that he was linked to members of a pro-Russian association.
In Spain, sisters left the Catholic Church because of a real estate project. Indeed, the Clarisas sisters intended to buy a convent but financial complications pushed them to turn to an excommunicated bishop, and therefore to secede. “Behind this rebellion, there may be an economic problem and this excommunicated bishop undoubtedly offered them a solution”explains the vicar general of Vitoria.
