PM says terrorists, not migrants, present security threat

Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka on Tuesday countered the president’s words about migrants and terrorism, stressing the need to distinguish between terrorists who present a global threat and refugees fleeing from war and terror. We need to keep in mind that the security threat comes from terrorists, not from migrants who need our help, Mr. Sobotka told journalists. In recent days the Czech head of government has been at pains to publicly counter some of the president’s views on the migrant issue and strongly criticized his speech to an anti-migrant gathering in Prague on November 17th.
