PM Sobotka says Bavarian view of immigration problems close to Czech position

Czech prime minister Bohuslav Sobotka has said that the Bavarian government’s views on immigration are a lot closer to that of the Czech Republic and Visegerad Four countries than that of most Western countries. Sobotka’s comments came during a visit to a Siemens plant at Amberg where he was accompanied by the Bavarian minister president, Horst Seehofer. Seehofer’s conservative CSU party has clashed with German Chancellor Angela Merkel over her open handed immigration policy.
