Deputy Prime Minister Babiš says country should not take in any refugees

Czech Deputy Prime Minister Andrej Babiš has said the country should not take in any more refugees. In an interview for the daily Právo, Mr. Babiš said it was the primary duty of Czech politicians to guarantee security for the country’s own citizens. The situation has changed radically and I believe that under the present circumstances the Czech Republic cannot and should not open its doors to migrants, Mr. Babiš told the daily. He criticized the EU for failing to take effective action to bring the situation under control, saying Schengen’s outer borders must be made secure.
