BRNO, Czech Republic – Hundreds of far right supporters have rallied against immigration and Islam in the Czech Republic's second largest city Brno, while others gathered nearby in support of immigration.

The rally follows a similar demonstration in the Slovak capital of Bratislava on Saturday which turned violent. They reflect the rising tensions surrounding immigration Europe, even in countries that have not been significantly hit by the recent wave of asylum-seekers.

Riot police on Friday separated the groups and were pelted with objects such as beer cans and bottles by the anti-migrants protesters.

Tomas Vandas, the leader of the far right Workers Party of Social Justice condemned the decision of EU leaders to relocate 40,000 migrants from Italy and Greece in Europe and demanded they are sent back to their countries of origin.

It is long past due that Europeans fought back to preserve their millennium and a half old Christian based culture against the Muslims who would destroy it. I have tried to warn Europeans friends that the EU would wreck their societies and was not necessary for their prosperity.


As far as the article’s assertion that it was a “far right” group, I will have to research that for myself. The “news” media can not be relied upon to give honest accurate information about the nature of a group, especially on issues they support like mass uncontrolled immigration.

Workers' Party of Social Justice (Czech:Dělnická strana sociální spravedlnosti) is aCzech political party, often described as the major far-right extremist party in the Czech Republic. The party is not represented in any legislative body in the Czech Republic and its biggest electoral success so far has been a gain of 1,14% in the Czech legislative election in 2010. Some of the high-ranking party officials, including a Prague party leader, have been associated with neo-nazi groups such as Národní odpor, Czech subsidiary of international militant neo-nazi group.^[2][3] In spring 2009 the petition for the ban of the party was dismissed by the Czech Supreme Administrative Court,^[4] because, as the presiding judge stated, the applicant (Czech government) didn't manage to provide sufficient evidence in what was seen as a botched application.^[5][6] Following violent attacks against Czech minorities by far-right extremists^[7] (such as Vítkov arson attack of 2009), and the government has filled a more detailed petition for the ban, which was discussed by Czech Supreme Court in January and February 2010. The party was banned, making it the first instance of banning a party for its ideology in the modern history of the Czech Republic.^[8]The party was transformed into a "Party of Citizens of the Czech Republic"^[9] and the party was renamed to Workers' Party of Social Justice.

Title amended and the program kept the same with small adjustments.^[1]

Ideology and program[edit]

The program of the Workers' Party is not easily classifiable. On January 19, 2003, a day after the party was established, it published a press release that it planned to compete mostly with the Czech communist party^[10] and as late as in early autumn 2008 the Workers' party program was considerably socialist, when the party's most important program point in the regional elections was an abolition of medical fees paid by Czech patients. The party received less than 1% of votes, but shortly afterwards attracted major media attention for organizing riots in quarters of Litvínov city with a significant Roma population.^[11][12] Afterwards, the party has managed to maintain considerable publicity by organizing a march against homosexuals^[13] in Tabor.

The party has then started to emphasize a nationalist dimension of its program, mostly effort to overhaul what they see as a favorable treatment of minorities, and in fact has started a radically anti-communist rhetoric, e.g. on the 20th anniversary of the collapse of communism in Czechoslovakia the party leader Tomáš Vandas has said: "So what is the state of the society nowadays? In one word: tragic. Communists still govern us.".^[14]

The party claims that it is the only "real opposition" in the Czech Republic, since it is the only party opposing the Czech political system. The party has repeatedly called for the overthrow and subversion of Czech political system, which the party describes both as "liberal"^[15] and "totalitarian"^[16] The official slogan for 2009 European elections was "Resist the totalitarian regime".

The party's program includes reducing national debt while increasing old age pensions and reducing the retirement age.^[17]

Some of the more concrete proposals include restrictions on foreign investment, including a total ban on purchases of real estate by foreign nationals^[17] and nationalization of certain companies.^[18]

The party also wants to restore the death penalty,^[18] criminalize "sexual deviation", including homosexuality,^[18] abolish registered partnership, reduce rights of the prosecuted^[18] and in some cases create new crimes with a retroactive effect.^[18] Some of the most controversial proposals include marking of ethnicity in ID cards^[19] and giving the police discretion to treat the arrested person inhumanly.^[18]

In international affairs, the party opposes NATO and European Union and requires the Czech Republic leave these organizations.^[19] The party is strongly anti-American and seems to be pro-Russian,^[20] going as far as stating that the Czech Republic must "immediately and strongly restore its relations with Russia"^[21] Concerning other matters in international affairs, the chairman of the party arbitration commission congratulatedMahmoud Ahmadinejad of the Islamic Republic of Iran after his victory in the 2009 presidential election.^[22]

Accusations of neo-nazism[edit]

The party has never denied its ideology is national socialism, but states that it is not inspired by Hitler's variant of national socialism. However, political scientists who did a research about the party's ideology noted that "The party materials and works of its supporters feature, both implicitly and explicitally, religious symbols, that are strongly related to Germanic neopaganism, which is a characteristical feature of (neo)nazism".<sup>[23]
