“They are very likely to succeed,…”
The Czech outlawed far-right Workers’ Party (DS) is returning to the political scene and it will be difficult for lawyers to have it banned again, weekly Tyden writes yesterday.
The Supreme Administrative Court (NSS) decided to dissolve the DS in February 2010.
It complied with the proposal of the government saying the DS is extremist and poses a threat to democracy.
The court concluded that the DS’s programme, ideas and symbols contain the elements of xenophobia, chauvinism, homophobia and a racist subtext and it follows up national socialism, that is ideology connected with Adolf Hitler.
According to the court’s verdict, the DS incited to violence, it was striving for a radical change of the democratic system and spreading fears of foreigners and immigrants.
This May, ultra rightist activists had a brand new party registered under the name Party for Europe, Tyden writes.
