Fico dismisses rumour about heart problems as 'complete nonsense'

Smer-SD chairman Robert Fico has labelled as "complete nonsense" the rumour that he was admitted to hospital over heart problems, TASR was told by Smer-SD press department head Jan Mazgut on Tuesday. "Fico recently overcame a viral infection, which he contracted during his foreign working visit," reads the statement by Smer-SD. During a press conference held earlier in the day, Fico refused to answer questions about his health, telling reporters that he would have answered the questions if they had really cared about his health and had not just been after tabloid information.
