Prime Minister Andrej Babiš said he did not like Foreign Minister Petr Macinek’s appearance in an interview with a masked man, although he declined to comment further on the episode.

The interview took place in the summer. Its authors said Macinek appeared near mock weapons and a replica explosive during the conversation. Babiš separated the minister’s conduct from the work of his security detail, saying the guards could not be blamed.

“Maybe Motorists’ voters like it,” Babiš said. He also addressed Macinek’s comments about Turek’s accident.

I do not like it, but I do not want to comment on it. The security detail is of course not to blame. Maybe Motorists’ voters like it.
