Andrej Babiš has said there is ‘no way’ the Czech Republic will agree to Brussels’ demand that the nation accept a quota of migrants from the third world. Speaking in the country’s parliament on Thursday, the recently elected Czech Prime Minister slammed the European Union’s (EU) mandatory quota scheme as “ineffective” and divisive.
“It is certain that we will not accept anyone, and we are fundamentally against anyone dictating to us who should live and work in our country,” local media reported him saying.
“We consider it absurd that the European Commission sues us for something that is nonsense,” Babiš added, regarding the EU’s decision to sue the Czech Republic alongside Poland and Hungary over their refusal to take part in the quota scheme.
Passed in 2015, after German Chancellor Angela Merkel opened the continent’s borders, the controversial rule dictates that asylum seekers who arrive in Europe seeking a new life are “fairly” redistributed across the bloc through a quota system.
Highlighting other contributions the Czech Republic has made to solving the migrant crisis, which includes having sent extra police officers to Hungary and Bulgaria to help protect the external EU border, Babiš pointed to the 35 million euro contribution from Visegrád 4 nations to help Italy crack down on people trafficking from Africa to Europe.
Accused by Brussels of lacking “solidarity” in the face of the migrant crisis for their refusal to take in a quota of new arrivals, Visegrád nations argue the scheme does nothing to solve the problem of illegal immigration.

GET OUT OF THE EU, ANDREJ!!
Nor the Nazis when they rolled in - but I believe the EU is a softer foe than those two behemoths of the 20th Century, and the Czech's current political leader seems to have a spine - and the support of his people.

Eastern European countries were just recently freed from captivity (except the Czechs). They want control of their countries, they don’t want to give them away already.
