Andrej Babiš, minister of finance: We should not take in anyone, for the refugees would not integrate

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

26. 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
