Czech politician Okamura wants to restrict the residence of Ukrainians in the Czech Republic: details.

According to inkorr.com: The leader of the Czech opposition party 'Freedom and Direct Democracy' (SPD) Tomio Okamura intends to review the living conditions of Ukrainians in the Czech Republic after the parliamentary elections in October. This is reported by Deník N.

The politician claims that the influx of Ukrainian refugees due to the Russian invasion has created problems with housing rentals and medical services. 'This is not hatred, but I am on the side of Czech citizens,' emphasized Okamura.

The SPD plans to leave the right to reside in the country only for Ukrainians who take vacancies that are uncomfortable for locals. Other Ukrainians may face losing their residence permits.
