The Czech Republic's President Milos Zeman
has caused outrage in the country after joking
about using a Kalashnikov assault rifle to get
rid of his Prime Minister and adversary.
Opposition parties and government politicians
alike have united in condemnation at the
president's comments targeting Bohuslav
Sobotka.
Zeman made the comment while at a public
debate in the town of Tisnov after a member of
the audience asked what do to the Prime
Minister, known for his more moderate stance
on the refugee crisis.
"If you want to get rid of any politician,
including the president, there is only one
democratic way and that is a free election,
which will take place in a year," Zeman said.
"And then there is an undemocratic path that is
called Kalashnikov," he said with a smile, the
Reuters news agency reported.
