Babiš: EU migration pact “greatest betrayal” of Czechia

Opposition leader Andrej Babiš says that the European Union’s Pact on Migration and Asylum is the greatest betrayal of Czechia in modern history. Speaking in the lower house on Thursday, the ANO chairman said that Prime Minister Petr Fiala and Interior Minister Vít Rakušan were responsible for Czech acceptance of the agreement, which he called “insane and monstrous”.

Mr. Babiš said the two cabinet members had traded Czech security, culture and way of life for uncontrolled migration, a crime explosion and breakdown of society.

For his part Mr. Rakušan said the opposition were fear-mongering over migration.

After years of talks, the European Parliament recently approved an overhaul of the EU’s migration and asylum rules.
