Opinions: the loudest Czech politics • Miloš Zeman, president: Czech republic should not take in any refugees, the violence would increase • Andrej Babiš, minister of finance: We should not take in anyone, for the refugees would not integrate • strictly against imigration: Úsvit (R), Martin Konvička (IvČRN, BPI), president Miloš Zeman • more liberal attitude: ODS (R), Svobodní (R), premier Bohuslav Sobotka • agree with imigration: Strana zelených (more to L)

  21. Survey

  22. The opinions of the Czech • informed by the media • from Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia and Eritrea, or other mostly Islamic countries • mostly due to wars and bad economic situation • + poverty, interventions of the USA • not to Czechia: small doses, flow to Germany, negative information • hatred of the Czech towards the refugees • influence on the common life: • yes • in Czech republic not, but elsewhere yes • fear of the unknown

  23. Our opinion • EU is not ready to take in so many people in such a short time! • the interventions of the USA are not usually wrong, but their problem is not having any next plans • we shoud take in mainly tested refugees from fighting countries • the problem of Islam is incompability with other today’s European values
