Miloš Zeman …

Published by:

Fairly harsh critique of Miloš Zeman, the current Czech president in the Slovak press. In a visit in a small community, Kojetín in the Olomouc region, and upon learning that the locals were afraid about unemployed Roma moving to their town, he chipped in:
“I am definitely not a friend of Communism, but during Communism the Roma had to work. Mostly they worked like dredgers, and when they refused to work, they went to jail”
No comments …
