As reported by Bloomberg, the Czech prime minister accused President Milos Zeman of destabilizing the country by condemning migrants, according to an interview conducted before violent protests and a firebomb attack against a refugee center rocked Prague over the weekend.

Premier Bohuslav Sobotka said repeated warnings from Zeman that the migration crisis would endanger the country were “undoubtedly contributing to the destabilization of the society.” The interview with Tyden magazine was conducted last week, before a wave of anti-immigration rallies across the country of 10.5 million that culminated in Prague with protesters hurling bottles and cobblestones at police and a fire-bomb attack on a refugee-aid center that injured one person. The country has agreed to shelter 400 refugees through mid-2017, according to the Interior Ministry.

“We don’t need politicians who, in their own political interests, deliberately blow risks out of proportion,” Sobotka said in the interview. “He’s raising tension in society, which is completely unnecessary.”
