Czech lower house passes resolution opposing planned Sudeten German congress on Czech soil

The lower house of the Czech Parliament has voiced opposition to a planned gathering of the Sudeten German association on Czech soil.  The resolution, initiated by the Freedom and Direct Democracy Party, calls on the organisers of the event, which is scheduled for the end of next week, not to hold the meeting in Brno.

The chamber also condemned any manifestations of historical revisionism, the relativisation of Nazi crimes, and attempts to challenge the post-war legal and property settlement in the Czech Republic.

Opposition deputies boycotted Thursday’s session of the chamber in protest.
